Anodising (engineering bods in here please!)

[Neil_S2000]

Does anyone know where I could send my TGX racing chassis off to have the colour changed from blue to red? Is this even possible?

[fastboy]

yes its possible..i anodise things myself at home but only smallish things like shocks and diff halves etc,try typing in "anodising" into msn search engine and loads will come up.

i assume you want just plain colored anodising and not hard anodising?

Hey bro, I do my own annodizing as well. Send it to me, and Ill do it real cheap. I use this super duper, high tech annodizer called Rustoleum. Tons of different colors, and it only takes a couple coats...........err........what does annodizing mean again? Just messing around fellas.

Thanks for the linkage. Yes just a colour change is all I'm after, it's an R390 and I want the chassis to match the body colour []

Scott, very funny [V][]

no worries,just ask for mervin from mansfield anodisers,very nice guy and very helpful(hes hard anodising some aluminum diffs i made for the b4 and sb sport) and quality is excellant.

doing coloured anodising is pretty easy if you have some good common sense and arent stupid but larger items like a chassis will draw a lot of current and the acid will get very hot so it has to be cooled significantly(usually by running a cold water pipe around the acid tub and using it to draw away heat).

have fun
