Question for the painter boffins;
If I were hypothetically about to acquire a certain high end anodized alloy frame would it be possible to:
A - Strip the anodized finish off of the frame without compromising the integrity of the frame whatsoever?
B - Have the frame anodized again leaving a factory finish and also not compromising the integrity of the frame whatsoever?
C - If not B what would the weight penalty be like to have the stripped frame clear coated (possibly with a tinted lacquer to accommodate logo stencils)?
D - If none of the above how low could the weight penalty be for single colour over existing finish with stencilled logos and clearcoat?
