Seat shield

Post by Karl »

G'day.
Has anybody had the aluminium side shields on the front seats re-anodised?
I am looking at knocking the dents out and sanding the shields back prior to having them anodised.
Does anybody know of any tricks or pitfalls.

To start with I have never had anodized work done. Now with that said the 1962 Cadillac grills are anodized and the club guys told me that oven cleaner would remove anodized coating. YouTube has a few stripping ideas. Dave

I am just looking at removing the dents and scratches.
I did my stainless steel trims some time ago and they turned out good.
Just looking if anybody else has done it and for any tips.
