Painting AP Bells

Deezer-D · 25-03-2011, 08:28 PM

Mine are a bit on the manky side. Had the calipers refurbed and new discs so would like to tidy the bells up a bit. Any ideas?

Ideally they need to be re-anodised to black/ your preferred colour. Wouldn't suggest painting or powder coating. Not sure how much new ones are these days?

Cheers, had a notion anodising was the best option. New bells are £150 each!

I had mine hard anodized when I first got my AP's, I just popped into the local place and they did it over a couple of days for £30

it'd be a shame to put those manky things back on,with your other new stuff

Already fitted unfortunately. They do annoy me though

re anodized , my local place was £50 minimum order. you can not paint or powder coat !

Cheers s.mac. I may keep an eye out for a set for sale. Will try giving them a better clean the next time the wheels are off.
Anyone suggest any products for cleaning anodised surfaces?
Cheers
