I was just curious if they can get the matte like background on them in the anodizing process, or only afterwords, since it would be hard to segregate areas on them to anodize differently.


It is part of the anodizing process. It actually comes around to your other statement, you can dull something further by leaving it in the anodizing longer but again, I'll let Harvey or Al speak to that.

I have anodized quite a few Fuchs in my day but, I'll left this job to the pros. If you want a factory look you really need to polish it because, as you mentioned, the anodizing will dull it a tad. So... polish and pray. Guys like Harvey do less praying as they "have it down".

Nope - not planning to polish myself, since I want it right & re-anodized & everything back to "as original" - & was pretty well set on Al Reid, but it sounds like I should talk to Harvey &/or Al Wiedeman first. Fortunately I have time before the car is ready for them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
