What sort of pieces are you looking at getting done
I'm more than happy to help you out , though I have to say the results were mixed with the anodiser on two counts
1. Some pieces turned out alot better than others, even though I polished them all myself to a mirror finish before the anodising. It seems to be related to the age of the metal. I had two Mid motor plates done, one looked alot better initially though they both looked perfect after polishing. One turned out great and one not so great. I polished a LWB Mid chassis, it was very scratched but when I was done it was perfect, yet that came up not so great, lots of dots in the anodising, pics don't sbow all the imperfections. The shocks are mostly good bar a couple pieces, and there were some pieces that turned out great but its hit and miss it seems. To be fair they did warn me beforehand that this is always possible
2. They don't want to do items that are too small, such as chassis posts and some plates, however some of the pieces they wouldn't do were actually larger than some pieces they did do so I'm stumped
I was really gutted about the chassis posts more than anything but I am now trying to see if I can somehow attach them to something larger with long screws and nuts in the even they wont be at risk of getting lost and they will do them. I ended up buying some factory blue anodised chassis posts instead for now, but was looking forward to doing some stuff in gold in the future, as well as some bits for the car I have been building for the last four years
