anodising question
« on: May 18, 2007, 05:28 PM »
I've got a silver MX1000 caliper and tech 3 lever. Can they be anodised blue or do they need stripping or anything first?

i dont think they can be done as they have steel parts on them ??? and this affects the process...........your only other option is to paint them with glass paint then clear coat :daumenhoch:
British race frames and race clothing wanted

OH POO!!! Just scored this on ebay too. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Cheers for the glass paint tip.  :daumenhoch:

Drop a line to customparts they will have the answer. Theoretically it should be possible as all you do is pre charge them in a sulpuric acid bath with a current running through them and then you dye them with an organic dye and finally boil them to seal in the colour.(thats how its done by the amature)

Those you won would be fine due to the lack of the quick release. I've just had a  MX1000 rear caliper back after being polished. And a rear rim two.  :smitten:

Pictures are rubbish though and don't do the work justice.

glass paint looks really nice but has to be put on a flawless base. you'll find your silver parts will be ano'ed already, just without colour.
Zippy's parts are a fine candidate for glass paint, as this is the finish you need for the glass paint to look it's best due to it being transluscent.
