There seems fairly large number of old school bmx'ers who are crying out for a decent anodiser.
At the moment, a chap in Barnoldswick (Colour Custom Anodising) gets much of the custom, but is very slow as the parts take second fiddle to the "real work" of car parts and commercial work.
If your works good, and you are not hideously expensive, and bike friendly, theres possibly a good market for a decent anodiser if your willing to take on older parts.
Might I suggest if you can show your work, a price list and post on the resto section of the radbmx forum.
I will be looking to get some brake arms, a seat post, and some rims and hubs possibly done later this year for a build.... 😀
Just a thought, and possibly an unoriginal one too...
Due to a lot of interest, I am thinking about writing a piece on the anodising process and hopefully answering as many questions as I can that you may have.
Please reply to this topic with any questions you may have or think may be useful for an anodising thread for others to easily find and refer to.
I am also keen to have the moderators let me know what is deemed to be within guidelines for a topic of this nature. As many of you may be aware, I did make a very informative posting a while back on another bike forum, but it was removed because of it being classed as advertising. I understand that this is a sensitive subject but would like to work with you to provide an informative and comprehensive reference for anybody who is looking to have anything anodised.

Oh man I can see me blowing some money on making bits coloured in a bit 😉
We do anodising, but only 10-15 micron clear I'm afraid. 😉
