I hit things with sticks....
I'm considering customizing some Xmetals myself and have not found through searching, any threads on what other's have done to prep the xmetals before they anodize or paint (aside from removing lenses/rubbers/screws).
If such a thread exists, and someone can point me in that direction, I would be grateful.
Bascially, I'm looking to find out if the OEM finish should be removed and what is the best way to do so?
If not, what is the way to prep frames before customizing?
I understand some may not wish to divulge "trade secrets" due to this being a source of income. Rest assured I'm not looking to start a business doing this.
I really like to DIY and this seems like a fun adventure.
If you would rather contact me directly rather than publicly, I'm fine with that and any conversations we have will remain private.
