Looking for a good anodizor in the Chicago area --
Doing 59 hood ornament - the small "arrow" and would like to bright dip the grill.
Good -- not cheap! Good!
Thanks

Years ago I read an article in one of the US hot rod mags about home anodizing. The kit needed is all readily available and surprizingly easy. To get a chrome finish you have an alfoil anode.
You would need a fair size tub to put a grille in but it would work. The other surprize to the whole thing was that you could do it with a car battery for the power source.
I have searched high and low for the article and the magazine since but cant find it or any reference to it. Maybe someone can help with the article.

It's been a while since I went looking. Found this which explains the process and gives you a source for kits.

I seem to remember Eastwood had something as well.
Makes interesting reading.
