I'm part way through rebuilding a set and will be having mine anodised. Alot more hard wearing in my opinion.

Depends who does it for you i wouldn't have thought more than £20, it wont flake off and will always come up good. It weighs nothing too if your a 'weight watcher'

I had a caliper, some fork legs and a bracket done for £60 or you could buy a kit for less than a ton and anodise everything and anything ally.

A mate who does motorcross wheel rebuilding, he is also a sparky and does some work for this anodising place somewhere in Manchester. I just post them off and a week later they turn up.
