To the question about clear coating a product after polishing: after
working it over with Simichrome polish as Laing says you can clear coat it
with a couple of applications of Protectaclear using a foam "brush."
Eventually this will wear off, too, and you will need to remove any
residual
You cannot paint polished parts and have the paint stick well - polishing
makes the surface too smooth for the paint to grip.
In my mind. if you want silver, especially polished silver, any type of
coating beyond waxing defeats the whole purpose of polishing. Cleaning
polished parts is easy.
Keith: They're not as good as the ones polished at Paul. Mine are good
enough for me. Not sure why there's a slightly uneven surface (kinda
pitted!) on the black ones.
Brendon: Got the video roughed in today, it's about 75% done.
Tom: See my link above to the previous thread on de-anodizing.
Can you get the finished product clear coated to help with longevity?
How does Paul treat their factory polished version ?

You are assuming that all anodized parts are available without anodizing,
which it not true for all parts.
Note that most colored anodizing is temporary also, the anodizing fades
over time. Easy and cheap to restore polished parts, anodized parts - not
so much.
Black parts show wear and
I’m with Garth - if you’ve got anodized parts you’d like to make silver…
arrange a trade!

While I don't have any Paul brakes, over Life I've had plenty of aluminum
parts that were of a natural, untreated finish. You can polish them all you
like, but it doesn't last every long until they require more polishing. The
polishing is an attempt to seal the exterior, to create a "buffer"
I have the Touring brakes that I would like to make shiney. How did you
remove the anodized?

I’ve been meaning to ask how you think they compare to the Paul’s Polished.
Yours seem to be slightly more matte than paul’s? (in a better way)
