srobrien Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 A little while ago I scored some Envy bottles at a very reasonable price, only problem is that they were anodized red. I wanted a polished look, and after attacking it with sandpaper and a grinder i discovered that the anodizing was there to stay. So I ended up spraying them silver, which honestly looked pap. So finally i have gotten round to doing something with them, and after a bath of caustic soda the anodizing just fell off them. Its just a case of plenty wet/dry, and autosol. Wish me luck!

srobrien Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yup its nasty stuff, tried nitromors first but it didn't even scratch it. Altough i did spill it all over my newly painted garage floor, which now isn't so painted. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R lol i've used cola to strip rust off car parts before, that works well, not as good as caustic soda, but oi don't drink many fizzy drinks now as i've seen what they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
