    Default Looking for a small anodizing kit.

    I want to be able to do small RC aluminum parts.
    I am looking for a complete kit. Anybody got any links?

    What is the best way to get rid of a present color on alluminum?


    I am new here. Take it easy on me.

    This is as complete a kit as I've seen.

    No kits include the acid, you will have to find that yourself, best at an auto parts store.

    What would you recommend for a charging unit? Say under or $200

    Skip the charger and go with something like this:

    MASTECH VARIABLE DC POWER SUPPLY 0-30 VOLTS @ 0-10 AMPS - eBay (item 140296166905 end time Mar-21-09 06:42:46 PDT)

    Its what most of us use in some form or another. You will be much happier with the results.

    Lye dissolved in water works for me, but watch it closely, because once it dissolves the anodize color, it will pit the aluminum rather quickly.

    I picked my lye up at Ace Hardware.
    20 gallon setup. w/ventilation.
    30/20 power supply.
    squirell mixer for agitation.
    home made heat stick for dyes and sealing.
