I think I remember seeing a tech article in PCA Panorama about using ultra fine sandpaper to bring back the original anodized finish on 4 lug Fuchs? Anybody have this article or was I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) ?

I think the annodize is some kind of dipping process. Not exactly sure hows it done.

Here is a short FAQ on the subject:
http://www.jacobanodizing.com/faqs.htm In my opinion, any sandpaper or steel wool will remove the anodizing. If you want to properly refinish the rim, send it out to be reanodized. Note: only the forged rims (Fuchs) are anodized. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) That's an excellent reference & I agree with you one sanding or using any abrisive material on anodized parts. The anodizing is so thin it wouldn't take much to remove it completely. By the way, I remember in the early 70's it wasn't uncommon to see 911 cookie cutters with a very pale green/blue anodizing on them. My 73T still has 2 cookie cutters will a very faint greenish tint still on them. The rest is long gone to age & cleaning. Anyone else remember such a thing? |
