Aluminum Trim

I need a piece of exterior trim restored. Does anyone have someone they have used?

I had several pieces of aluminum trim repaired and polished by JM Stainless Repair in Bunnell , FL .
After he polished them I took them to a place in Sanford that he recommended to have them re-anodized .
They look great . Highly recommended .

I've used Skip at Extreme Metal Works to do some aluminum rocker panels and they turned out beautiful. He will strip, sand and polish before reapplying the bright dip anodize. 330-550-3638

Did your panels have any scratches and dents in them

Some scratches but mostly little road blast dinkers that looked like they had been lightly sandblasted. Dents in aluminum trim can be a big challenge because the material is typically heat treated and prone to cracking if the dents are worked too aggressively.
