Hi Daz,
Peaky is right. You need to polish and smooth out any marks. If you dont you will see every scratch/mark as anodising does not hide marks only colours them.
You would be able to HYDRO DIPPED them though. But as above you will need to get all the marks out for a better finish.
I spent a lot of time rubbing out and polishing up the chassis ready for the HYDRO DIPPING.
Hope that helps matey......
