[dumbandyoung]

anyone do it or know of a good place in so cal to get it done? i have some jet ski parts i need done. was wondering what this is gonna cost me.:confused:

I use Mid Valley in Burbank. What do you want anodized?... What kind of finish? Colored or clear? If it isn't polished it will come out quite dull.

Dunham in Orange did these. Matched the color really good. They do lots of boat parts also.

Oh yeah... they did some bright anodization on an Aston Grill for me ONCE... It was the shiniest anodization I've ever seen. But they charged me 360.00 for what mid valley will do for 40.00. You decide. Get comparative prices first.

Just a thought, I would never anodize a boat part again, only powdercoat. You may want to consider it, if its an option for your parts.

Barry avenue is a very good plater, we used to use them alot but our connection down there retired about 4 or 5 years ago, we've been using Jenco Plating and had excellent results with them lately. Personally i think anodizing is far superior to powdercoat on aluminum parts, it will never chip or peel and will last forever with proper care, keep it waxed and it wont fade unless there is heat involved.

Barry Avenue Is Good A Lil Pricy But They Are Good;)

Are you looking for protection or appearance. Because after looking at those parts, I'd suggest powder coating. For anodization to look good the surface prior to the process has to look good. Any pitting or oxidation will look like crap after it's done. It either has to be bead blasted or polished. Bead blasting will prep the surface but will also make the anodization dull. Good luck.

Go to Embee powdercoating in Santa Ana.
Hard to tell from the pics but Im gonna guess thats a kawi 650?

For those, powdercoating would be nice.
I've used Embee and they do great work, but I went back to Olympic in Santa Ana.
