2 Anyone know what would happen if you stripped a frame and anodised it? Would it be durable...?
The frame needs to be aluminium of you want it done.
And yes, it would be as durable as the anodising you get on your chainrings, wheel rims etc.
For best results anodisers like to use clean, shiny new aluminium otherwise the results look a bit flat/crap.
Most anodisers also do general metal finishing, such as polishing etc. So you could get an item polished and then anodised for durability/colour.
