Re: [Chrysler300] Console Anodizing

[whuff <whuff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I bought one of Ano-Brite's '67 GTX headlight bezels on eBay.  They 
said it was totally restored and the price wasn't too bad.

When I got the bezel, it looked great, but then I saw that they had 
left pitting in the aluminum under the black paint.  The bright 
aluminum looked good.  They wanted $250 to restore another bezel I 
would provide if it was in good shape and $400 for the grill under 
the same proviso.

For my money, Alltrim (http://www.alltrim.com/) is the gold standard 
for aluminum restorations.  They have made new castings of intricate 
and difficult parts, such as 67 GTX tail light bezels, developing 
them so that there were no issues of size or fit, which often happens 
if one just make's a mold from an original.   I bought a rear trunk 
panel for my GTX from them, one that did not meet their standards, 
assuming it would be good for a driver.  It far surpassed my 
expectations, almost like OEM.  I believe Alltrim may be more 
expensive than Ano-Brite, but there should be no doubt of the quality 
or their concours restorations.  It would be interesting to compare 
the two company's work side by side.
