You could always get a black one stripped of its anodising and polished.
Just use spray on oven cleaner. you'll have to give it a few goes as Thomson anodising will be tough as buggery or look up anodisers in the yellow pages and get them to do it

Hadn't thought of stripping a black one, that's a pretty good idea. You reckon standard oven cleaner will do it? Might give it a blast on an old post before i fork out for the Thompson cos they aint cheap.

I normally use Mr Muscle oven cleaner and Thomson stuff is hard anodised so it will take a few goes.
Just spray it all over and leave it for a while. Better to do several goes at it rather than one very long one. Wash it off each time and don't forget to use a container that is:
- big enough to get it in lying down so you can cover it all over
- doesn't melt when in contact with oven cleaner
- not your lunchbox
Best of luck and remember to wear gloves
- big enough to get it in lying down so you can cover it all over

Forget about oven cleaner, get some caustic soda cyrstals usually sold as a drain cleaner in pound shops.
Cautic soda is bloody brutal stuff. You'd have to be very careful or you'd end up with a 24.8 or maybe a 24.6.
