I've got some red anodised BB cups that I want changing to black.

Where would be a good place to get them done?

Try the back door of your local electro-platers, chances are it won't be cheap if you go in through the front.

They'd have to get the old stuff off first. That wont be pretty. Or cheap. Usually means acid etching & the surface finish suffers. Re-anodising usually looks ropey.

Replacing perfectly good products for the sake of colour.

Whatever next.

We use anodisers at work. A run on clean parts comes in at about £80. I'd imagine you'll break £100 to have them cleaned off first. Perhaps you could just get new cups in black?
