Eastwood has a solution to strip anodizing. Look in their catalog....never used it, but they make it look likes its a dip and strip without any scrubbing or residue left on.

I have used the Eastwood product and it works well, leaves the part nice and bright.

Are you planning on puttig any protective coating back on the fittings?


If not, what do you plan on, the bare fittings looking like in a few months.

This bare look could be very cool, or maybe just a dirty unprotected look.

Aluminum will oxidize over time and leave a dull grey look if its unprotected.

I assume you know all of this...


So what is the look you are going after?
Are you going to recoat the fitting in some cool color?

I have to weld some of the fittings in, so they need to be bare to do that. After the modifications are done, they part will be annodized , not sure on color yet, probably clear or gray. I prefer not to strip fittings due to the extra costs involved.
