i did but not on this project...this is for fun and needs to be very wallet friendly

Powder coat themyourself. Harbor Freight, although I don't care for most of their stuff, has a gun that works unbelievably well. Powder is cheap, just use an electric oven to cure. You will love the new toy. We all know how you like "toys."

Most anodizing company's won't anodize cast aluminum

It contaminates their tanks

''back in the day'' some cast wheels came out of the box with a soft, light blue coating on the inner surface, the stuff was almost transparent, could dig your fingernail into it...local speed shop sold rattle cans of the it, but that place is history...closest thing i know of today would the ''vinyl'' upholstery paint rattle can.

i like it.....me and Daisy will have to go for a ride screw the brothers

I used a HF powdercoat gun for years. Recently, it was wearing out and I caught a good sale on Eastwood's basic HotCoat gun. While the HF gun gave me a lot of good use, I like the Eastwood a lot better. :thumbsup:
