anodized trim

[Silver R/T]

on 2nd gen Charger (68 in particular) what is proper anodizing color, does anyone know? I could get trim reanodized locally so I was wondering if there's a particular color it needs to be? I have new trim except for C-trim and I don't see spending $150 on a set when mine just need to be reanodized (it's just pitted)

Not sure where the C-trim is but read up on anodizing a little.  If you want a shiny finish, you must mechanically polish the piece first.  A dull finish is yielded by lightly scuffing the piece with abrasive.  The color of the anodizing depends on the current/voltage level during the process.  A lower current gives a silvery finish where a higher current gives a yellowish finish.  After the part is anodized, a dye can be added to yield any desired color.  The dye is sealed with a nickel acetate bath.

Fixing your pitting and re-anodizing will be a lot more than $150.00

I think if its pitted, your done. Even if you restore and recoat it, it will have a tendency for the area where it was pitted to start cording again, Just might be easier to buy the new moulding then to restore the old. Plus your looking at around 3-4 hours to restore the pieces, so that would probably justify spending the cash on the newer pieces.
