I definitely recommend clear anodizing as original it is not very expensive=
. However, the expensive part is polishing the parts unless you do that you=
rself. Anodizing companies usually do not polish the parts. When the alumin=
um is polished it will have a mirror finish but after it is anodized the fi=
nish will be a dull gray as original.

Have also heard that suntan lotion discolours the finish very quickly.

Powder coating the same colour as anodizing
