papak Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I picked up some .040 aluminum to make a bracket and didn’t realize that was anodized until I pulled off the plastic protective coating. Is there an easy way too remove the anodizing other than sanding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papak Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 It took two sessions of 15 minutes each of oven cleaner plus finishing with a green Scotch-bright pad to remove the anodizing. This was followed by wet sanding with 600, 1200 and 2000 before polishing with Nuvite G6, coarse and smooth. Now its pretty much indistinguishable from the underlying scuttle. The mirrors are from Speedway ('31 Ford in stainless steel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
