ErikA Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Wondering if anyone has a good referral for an anodizing place here in Calgary. I have a few aluminum bits on a project car i need refinished. Any referrals or reviews would be appreciated!

Keith Adams Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Erik - I haven't had anything done by them, but many moons ago, someone told me about Alanco in Okotoks. You now know as much as I do. I couldn't find a website, just a phone # 403-938-4058 Anodizing is a challenge because it's part art, part science. Most places are set up to do "production" anodizing for parts manufacturing, as opposed to odd-jobs. The other reason why it's tough to find a shop to do stuff is that due to the nature of the chemicals and acids used in prepping, your parts can get damaged, so lots of shops won't want to take on that risk. So just a heads up that you may have to be persistent, but report back on what you find. Quote Link to comment

ErikA Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I ended up visiting Wespen Industries in the end. Not for anodizing, but for zinc plating on a test part. They did an excellent job. Now I need to take a leap of faith and mix all my fasteners into one bucket to get them re-plated. I think with the help of iphone photos and a factory service manual, I should be able to sort it all out after, right? Wish me luck ...
