Anyone know a shop that'll do hard anodizing on a small-quantity (two pieces) basis? Every shop I've talked to only wants to do production quantities. Thanks! |

So far so good; just spoke to 'em on the phone and they said "Yes", and the price quote's quite reasonable! |

I doubt it -- when I asked about bright-dip, they said they don't do that. |

this place had a tank large enough to strip the anodizing off the grill surround on the 83 D150,, then re anodized it after I had it polished. http://www.industrialanodizing.com/ |

Thanks. What'd they charge for that service? |

Was not much, 30.00,,IIRC, the guy I worked with at that shop was also a car guy, was intrigued by the D150 project, I remember he said I did not need to pay anything after removing the anodized finish and could pay after he reanodized it,,after I had it polished |

Nice pricing! Their email doesn't work (address on their website bounces immediately "Address not found") so I'll give them a call next week. |

Guess there's no call for me to be mysterious: I have a two pieces of high quality cast aluminum cookware -- the kind you might use to cook potroast or similar. They were my grandmother's. Oval, about 14" by 9" by 9", with matching cast aluminum lids. Old but in excellent condition. They are raw aluminum, which sheds black smut when wiped, and there is some question of the health effects of aluminum leaching into foods (can't cook acidic foods in them, so no tomato sauce, etc). I want to have them very well cleaned and surface-treated. I will need some guidance on the exact choice of treatment(s) -- offhand I'm thinking the hardest possible anodizing, but beyond that I'm ignorant. Just clear anodize? Polish or bright dip of some kind? Black? Some kind of food-grade ceramic coating? I know nothing. Pittsburgh shop got back to me so far recommending black hard anodizing and quoting $68 to do both of 'em; we'll see what other answers might come in.
