Hi!
Most of my projects include finding some cheap and crappy individuals with some potential and bringing them back to life as well as I can. This though is something totally different!
I ran into this beat up Lightning frame here in Finland and got it with a good price. Due to the marks and scratches on the bead blasted finish I decided to turn it into brushed look. Got a roll of kind of scotch brite with 360 grit and went through the frame with it. Then based on the original decals drew new ones to act as outside lines for anodization. Built some simple home style voltage adjustable anodization equipment and went for it. Just today finished the anodization and this is how it turned up! Looks totally different in sunlight but that’s quite rare here in Finland
Still have to build the wheels and gather some more components, so still a long way to go until it’s finished, but most of the elbow grease is now behind me!
