Here's a picture of the grill after stripping, removing dents/pits and scotchbrite. I'll buff this weekend and send to the anodizer.
On two guys garage they had some kind of do it self anodizer, but I missed the name It looked pretty cool. There's a nice set of trim on K.C. craigslist for 100 bones.
