I want to get some new mirrors. They come in chrome and black anodized. I seen a few different controls that I like that are also black anodized. So everything would be anodized but the switch housings. Can I get them anodized so they all match? Any ideas where I could get this done? Some may say that I am too ****. lol.

I also have some Performance Machine chrome fairing mount mirrors for sale. $165 shipped if anyone is interested.

 

yeah you have to find someone to anodize but it is posible for sure.

 

Based on my experience with Drag Boats, anodizing is cool, but it will fade from exposure to the sun and some cleaning chemicals. Powdercoating is more durable and will resist sunlight and most cleaning chemicals.

 

Like Lakrrat said, I prefer anodizing over powdercoat. But the anodizing doesn't like the sun. Red will turn pink in no time, Gold, Blue, & black will last longer. Where do you live? When I lived in MI I always used Detroit Anodizing, They did all of the work for Moroso Perf. and many custom bike & car parts.

 

I want to get my hand controls a glossy black. I thought about doing some mirrors but the glass doesn't come out. So maybe powdercoating is a better way? I live in WI

 

anodizing is cool, but like the older rinehart end caps, remember the black endcaps would turn almost a copper color after being exposed to the heat of the exhaust. the newer ones are a hi temp powdercoat, and hold their color rather than changing. i'm on my third set on three different harleys, and the newer rinehart caps don't fade or change color. can't do the powdercoat of the mirrors either, how ya think that glass is held in? the adhesive to hold in the glass surely isn't anything that would withstand the heat of the powdercoaters oven. the silicone or adhesive that is used to hold the glass in the mirrors wasn't designed to be heated to 400 degrees.

 

It sounds like I will just hav eto go with chrome vs black.
