  • How would I strip the black off these rims, and how hard is that likely to be?

    We've been here many times before, recently here https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16749121/incontext/

    I'd be a little cautious about dipping a structurally critical hollow component into an aluminium-dissolving solution. Your local high-end anodising shop would be able to do it, but it would be much better to find a source of the same rim which has never been black, they are manufactured and sold through the usual suspects, although the whims of fashion mean they are seldom in stock.

  • It was successful though.
    Exhibit A:
    Didn't do a die yet re steel interface.
    The pellet stuff was weak, had to resort to mix it into a paste and apply liberally with a brush and patiently waiting whilst it bubbled away.
    Was fun though.
