window frames, refinishing Options

[porbmw]

It's getting to the shorter strokes. I have a bunch of rubber from Mark, need to get things/windows together.

Of course, window frames are scratched etc.
Any recommendations on how to refinish them...are they true chrome...or anodized, or some other product.

If chrome, I can just disassemble and ship them to the local chrome shop. If anodized, or something else, I may be in a bit of trouble re resources.

Thanks

I actually am. The metal is set to be extruded in about 8 days, the following week I'll be processing these as they are actually a process of heating and stretching onto the die. This required me to sand the imperfections out, and buff prior anodizing. So yes they will be ready ion abotu 3-4 weeks. I am subbing out the labor for the forming and polishing as it's too much for me to take on (at about $20 a set, not bad), buit they are in the works as we speak.

To answer your question on stripping, it's a chemical process, I have heard of guys using oven cleaner (search wheel threads). If it is chemically stripped you will want to wetsand with 1000 grit and 2000 grit, then polish to a mirror finish. Then any anodizer should be able to do it.
