Then I sanded it to get the brushed finish back and had it re-anodized for $80. I did 2 since it was $80 for any quantity. Only problem was they anodized them a little duller than I would of liked but I just had my friends body shop clear coat them and it turned out perfect. I will try and get a picture later.
Now thats useing your head. Great info.
