I seen others that have anodized certain parts of there aircraft, including mostly rudder pedals, for durability and looks. So i decided to follow suit and i am real pleased with the results.
I disassembled the pedals cleaned them up and dropped them off at a local metal finisher. They have about a dozen different colors to choose from. I was able to pick up the next day.
I riveted them all back together and admired the look... Might have to gather up some more cockpit parts in the future and do the same....
