Title: Any current do it yourself RE Anodize tutorial tips info? Abu sideplates
Post by: pointbob on April 19, 2026, 04:51:52 PM
Has anyone figured a cost effective method to do it yourself re anodization of abu reel sidelines? Any tips be great. I searched the site here but most of the threads fairly old and pics removed. Thanks

Ps.. I know you have to peel off all the side plate labels and clean it well..but do you need to strip away the previous anodization? There's s bit of rock rash on the existing sideplates....Dremel it or some acid bath?
