Anodizing? anbody around Chicago??

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Eventually it will wear away. Cars that have been raced on dirt/clay for a while eventually have the anodizing polished away. Cars run on the street have scratches in the chassis, only thing to do for those is to either polish it away if its small enough or use a filler and powdercoat it for deep scratches.

Or you can just live with it.

You can also anodize things yourself, but its a smelly process using dangerous chemicals. I haven't done it because I don't have a place I can safely work with acid. There are books and tutorials on the net galore, some free, some not.
