Aluminum trim

Post by jsspagg »

Knee deep into my restoration project. I am considering having the aluminum trim refinished. This I imagine would require sending those pieces to a shop that can strip off the existing anodized finish and redo. Anyone here do that?

I found a few shops that do that kind of work and have sent an email with some questions.

Hi

Be careful taking it of as it will bend, if you try straightening it, it will never fully straighten and parts of it are nla.

Thanks for the heads up Ronnie- I have an extra set already removed off another car- the hard to remove sections along the roof line. There are other more sturdy pieces like the window sill sections. I have those off the car now for replacing the weather-strips on the exterior and now is the time if I can find a place to do it.
