Hi, I have been on google looking to see if anyone does small batches of Anodising without luck, wanting to see if I can have the centre caps of my compomotive wheels re-andised a different colour. Anyone know of any companies?

Knowing where you live might help.

Theres a place in portsmouth that does it. Did loads of bike bits for me a few years back.

/\ it will, but for 62 quid, you should try locally first........

There are 2 places in the Bournemouth area that I use, both are metal plating companies that do nickel, chrome etc., but also have anodising equipment.

Trawl round your local industrial estates and have a chat with plating companies, they're sure to know who does it.

Don't bother with the home anodising kits, they are more trouble than it's worth, and the results are never as good as professional work.

To the best of my knowledge Compomotive don't offer their centre caps in alternative colours.

Found a local company today and it's not that expensive, though they have most colours but green :mad:

Just out of interest - what sort of figure were you quoted for the 4 caps - and what colours available ?

Was looking to buy a kit from frost one day, but if the price is right it may be worth going to a specialist
