Hello

 

Covering the cockpit surrounds in leather matching the seats was an option extra with the four-cylinder cars, and was popular with 100M purchasers.

In one of the Healey books there was an early instance of wrapping it in vinyl. A good choice in hot climates and it hides any dings. No more scalded arms. DP

Yes we clear powder coat them all the time. Did mine18 years ago and still look great. A little brighter than anodizing

Hi David,

I have been considering having them powder coated have you actually tried it?

It would certainly make life a lot easier. 

Ikea uses a very similar finish of many of their metal parts and the finish is very durable and a perfect match for the original Bright Dip.

I'd love to know where they have it done.

BTW I found this on Bright Dip .... Hardly surprising that it is hard to find someone to do it!!

 

People probably don't say much about brite dipping chemistry for a number of reasons. 
First, very few anodizers do brite dipping, which limits the amount of response we can expect. 
Second, there are a number of proprietary suppliers, and people may not be sure if a composition they know of is generic knowledge or is actually a proprietary trade secret they can get in trouble for publishing.
Third -- and most important -- those who are familiar with it realize this is a really, really, nasty solution that requires specially designed garage-door type fume containment (not conventional lip exhaust or push-pull exhaust), special unconventional fume scrubbers to deal with the wild NOx fuming and high solubility of nitric acid that conventional fume scrubbers can't handle, and very well engineered secondary containment because it is extremely aggressive even to expensive construction materials. This stuff running on the floor after eating through a 316L stainless tank is a major concern.

Another option is to have the anodizing remove. Then polish the trim, then have it clear powdered coated

Ken,

There was a place in Ontario, Canada called Holly’s Anodizing but they have closed at the end of November, so I am not sure where you would go for that now. I know that House of Silver was considering this service not too long ago, will call them next week if they have decided to start doing it.

I have been considering re-anodizing the surround pieces on a hundred but have not been able to find someone to perform this service. Can anyone on list share advice on any firm that can anodize these pieces correctly and or has experience with anyone.
