Re: How to: fix the ugly anodizing on your ReRe
Hard anno and bright dip all add into the cost but my place is $40 for anno, $20 to strip but they do NO prep at all either. You can do about 3-4 complete chassis with shocks and hardware as a minimum order. We were up to 6 chassis on the last batch and it finally went over minimum by $10. I want to say it was 88 pieces total but it's more about how much room it takes on the racks.
I have not tried their hard anno yet but we may run a batch in the near future. I have heard the horror story of the worlds tub being damaged so it's at your own risk.

Re: How to: fix the ugly anodizing on your ReRe
Wow, your car looks fantastic...congrats!
All the aluminium parts from my classic are waiting at the anodiser's to be 'painted' dark green. I was actually torn between going purple or green, but my eldest son's (who only 3 1/2 years) favourite colour is green, which led me in that direction.
In some ways it's good as I can admire the pics of your beast and own a different coloured colour at home. I'll be sure to post pics of your green rival once finished!
Cheers,
Steve

Yes green is another color I hadn't tried yet, and I am sure after seeing your I will need one too!

I usually don't care for purple but its not that bad. If I were to change it at all I would change the shock caps, and tubes to black as well.

I use photobucket because the size limit on pics is pretty small or
If you can resize the pics that will make them small enough to fit the forum limit.
If you are doing it all from a phone or tablet, photobucket is super easy. Just upload your pic and choose [img] under URL link codes. Paste the link in your post and your done

Here is a shot of my green anodised aluminium parts for my build (to commence shortly).
I think I like your purple better though!

Cool! I like that it is dark- I was never a fan of the axial type light green
