Anodising a frame.

Stick Legs · Sep 21, 2007

My Pace is starting to look a biut scruffy. It has a while yet before it needs refinishing but I would prefer it to be anodised rather than painted.

All the anodisers I speak to around here won't touch it. Pace aren't interested either.

Has anyone got any ideas??

BTW I was thinking dark green anodised.

Cheers.

I think part of the problem is a tank big enough for a frame is not common, especially in funny colours.
The prep is pretty important for an even finish too. Not sure I would risk it myself unless it was waaay bad to start.

Fancy Paint

A better option would be to get it dipped by Hydrographics at Tadcaster! Tougher than ano, less weight than paint anf literally any colour/print you could dream of! Anyhing from Metalflake to animal print to camo'!

Interesting point. Maybe that is why they are not keen.

A centrefire rifle is around Â£215, but that includes a total strip and rebuild, a frame should be less as it only involves a surface strip/rub down. They do a lot of motor bikes so a cycle frame would be no problem.
