Anodizing VS Powder coating
#13
I'm no expert on this subject, but if you like the look of anodizing, you can have polished parts coated and polished using clear powders. I don't remember all the details of the process, but a good coater should be familiar with that I'm talking about. If done well, it looks pretty awesome.
This is a raw magnesium shell I had polished and powder coated and it has the reflective properties of anodizing.

Good point to clear but powder must also be cleared to protect it. Whats another con of anodizing.

Joe I say go with PC'ing. There many different powders that can give an anodized look. I've seen some cool candy and chrome powders. Just my 2 cents
