Hi,
I just found out my friends dad can get me any part I give him anodized for free.

Would it work if I gave him my cylinders and 1 sidecase, and had them done silver? How would it look, like a polished motor? Would it make it run hotter ect.? Any problems with doing this and the heat of the motor?

 

Also if I had my Red Label Wheels done, Silver, how would they come out, like chrome, or is it more of a flat color?

thanks

 

H300F, I work at a machine shop, and we frequently have aluminum parts anodized. However, I've never seen a silver/chrome-like finish. I'm pretty sure that a mirror finish can't be obtained through anodizing.

 

Would doing this make excess heat inside the cylinder, like polishing would?

 

Hey H300;
I just had my wheels, bumpers and nerfs anadized blue and they showed me the silver and it is silver not at all chrome looking. To get a real good finish, the part should be polished wheel fine grit steelwool, which would give you close to the look you are looking for anyway.
Good luck

 

Hey, I just got a little kx80 and polished the clutch cover, here is a picture of it, the broken one above is what it looked like before: http://www.geocities.com/jibaridge/kxcase.jpg
