anodizing fittings

[boat 569]

Has anyone had flex hose fittings stripped and reanodized? The guy that rigged my boat originally had all the fittings anodized the same color. I can buy fittings from JEG'S that are already polished. But the local anodizing shop said that the fittings would have to be taken apart. There are pins that retain the B-nut and also pins on the swivel fittings. He said that these pins would have to be removed. Any ideas?

what color are you looking for?
I leave the pins in them and it's never a problem. But I do have a great anodizer that knows what to polish and what not to. They always do a great job.
If you are doing it don't use the double swivel fittings. Stick with the fixed ones.

How does the pricing work on reanodizing fittings?

[superdave013]

It's more then just buying new ones. It's for the gotta have that color and not really sweating the cost crowd.
Keep in mind if you don't take the b nut off each fitting is then only 2 parts to strip and repolish. 20 fittings = 40 parts.
But like I said, what color are you looking for?
