look at my headlight bezel above, it cost $3.50 to do both bezels and some grill trim. I think it's worth it and it save me the cost and time involved of sending them out to be redone. I didn't redip mine but you could clear coat them or send them out to be reanodized
If you strip with lye, buff, then send out for anodizing, you most likely will be very disappointed with the results. Let a professional aluminum anodizing shop strip the coating.

Please elaborate. I'm thinking about buffing the heck out of them, after stripping the anodizing, and then either leaving them bare-and expecting to have to polish them on occasion, or clearing them after polishing. What problems are you thinking I'm going to have?

Uncalled for... Mark is just trying to relay what he knows. There is a right way to do this and then there are other ways. Sure, those guys have an interest in the matter, but he didn't come at it that way.
BTW, here's the tail trim panel Mark did for me. Absolutely astonishing. Treated me with nothing but respect and really came across as a nice dude, not just blowing smoke.

So what does you posting a pic of a high $$$ restored part do???? Push his service? Ive seen many show winning cars with polished trim cleaned, prepped as listed above, so I guess they were not doing it the "right" way.... So I guess "right" has a specific dollar value attached to it, huh???? OK, I get it. Sure the high end road is nice, but how many cars in todays econ are being sold at a profit? So dont get all bent up just because jimmy bo jangles dont want to dump alot in his 318 car. But this is moparts,where alot of the really skilled people are banned or just fed up. Quote:

Generally speaking, yes. Deal with it.

Just saying he knows what he's talking about.

Well, not that it didn't look good, go for it if you want... but it still isn't the "right" way by definition. For a lower end car, this may be the right way to go, but it still isn't the "right" way.

I'm not bent up, I was just defending a good guy. You are the one bent up. Settle down.
I wonder why those "skilled" guys get fed up? Mark? Can you tell me why "skilled" guys get Fed up here?

One reason I do not post much anymore is that some folks on here seem to get pi$$ed if you are trying to make a living with a service for these cars. I wonder how they would like it if they were told they needed to just break even or loose money at their jobs. I bet it would hit the fan then. I am always willing to help out. My services are way too cheap in my area of service but I like to see the cars back on the road and happy owners. There is nothing wrong with budget fixes and conversely those that chose to spend good money doing stuff the other way should not be hammered on for doing so. To each his own.

Its all good Mike, your replies are always interesting to say the least, if they were not you would not stand out as you do,just your work would...remember its just the net. In reality if I ever did somthing with my cuda, the are some trim parts that I would get in line for to have them done. Moparts is cool in the way on how its divided into the non matching driver crowd and then the "correct" crowd. So you got to expect some
