I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but nothing like a bit of forward planning - my Nordie forks are looking rather tired in the anodising department, the gold has lost its lustre and they look faded and weathered. I could strip and re-anodise them at work but I'm reticent as I don't want to affect the internal coating.
Anybody had their forks re-anodised and can recommend an anodiser?
Or maybe I'll have a go at it.....
Cheers
Phil

It's just a case of scaling the kit up, sealing up the legs to retain the internal hard coating and concentrating just on the external surface, and I can dye them any colour I want......well, within reason....
