Brushed aluminium trim repair?

[fraserbottomley]

Hi Guys,

The brushed aluminium trim in my Z4 has gained a few marks/scratches over it's life - Does anybody know of any companies that can repair/refinish brushed aluminium?

Cheers

The part is brushed whilst flat then annodized. Its a real pain to repair. You have to burst through the annodizing, remove the damage then reaply the brushed effect.

See what I did here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... D3 No:206

Not 100% original...looks more hand crafted IMO (I 'prefer hand' crafted to DIY).

Warning...IT TAKES MANY MANY HOURS! But its worth it rather than paying £1000 to replace each item.

I've just been enquiring re. getting potential scratches off a bike eggzorst in Biker Banter.

It appears that there is a product called a Garrison or Garryson block that's good for this type of thing.
