im getting all my aeroquip from goodridge in black

but


there is 4 fittings i can only get in blue (throu bulkhead)


can i get them anodised over the top in black? or will the blue show throu?


thanks


gus

 

best thing to do is, to get your items zinc and clear passivated then re anodized the colour you require

 

as above

 

i thankyou


so it be done

 

Easily done, local platers did these bits for Ł10


Before




After

 

hmmm, you stripped your fuel pressure reg.


there's an idea

 

I was talking to Dean from radtec today about this gus.

Give him a call as he will give you the name of several companies that do it.

To a very high standard I hear as well, meaning less chance of scratching the finish in the future.

 

well there is a place in basildon i think i will talk too


as soon as i get them then i will need them done and straight back to tom


i dont want him stopping

 

The company that did these bits :



Said they could could change the color easily I think they said it was etched back and then re-anodised, the longer the etching time the less of a shine though ...

 

Could you not have bought them in black in the first place??!!

 

Other option is to strip it in caustic soda and spray it black - works well

 

They started as silver, I was asking about some other bits that I had I liked Richie's idea with the cam sensor and reg

 

I was actually referring to the originator of the thread!!

 

 

for me.

 

GUS- Check Pace Products out....i'm certain they do Black adonised fittings

 

believe me mate they have checked every where


quite fancy my bells being done aswell, the blue is not working for me anymore

 

i dont know what the proper name is for it but we call it M.E.K at work, that will strip anodise

 

so that takes it to about Ł1200 of aeroquip then gus

 

no little more then that

had to order the roll over valves and a couple of fittings for the fuel pump

 

Methyl Ethyl Ketone ?

 

Caustic soda (from any supermarket/hardware store) can be used to strip anodise, however you might aswell let the person who will be reanodising it black strip it off for you.

If your getting black, ask for it to be hard anodised

 

Everything we do in black is always hard anodised, its not worth messing about otherwise

 

is there limits to what can be anodised peeps ?

ie certain metals ?


also could say a cossie rocker cover and inlet be done ?

just curious thats all

 

please can someone put some numbers up of companys that do it!

 

aluminiums and titaniums, hard to know how a rocker cover would turn out, depending on what exactly is in the alloy as some turn funny
