There is a lot of information on anodizing on the web. This may have been posted here before but there is a DYI site where they sell what is needed to accomplish this. http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize.html Another site explains anodizing in detail http://www.alphametal.com/anodizing.htm Also I notice that when anodizing is discussed I always see Aluminum as the substrait. I was wondering if other metals can be anodized. I ask this because I own a classic Claude Butler frame that is 531 but looks to be anodized and I need to do some restoration on the rear triangle. Has anyone heard of steel alloy anodizing?
