Post Coupe trim anodizing

Looking to refinish the aluminum trim(Side Windows) on my 70 post coupe.
Anyone know who is doing the anodizing process to refinish these.
Any other options others have done.
I could strip off the old anodizing and polish them but then what to do to protect them from corroding?

Clear coat after cleaning and polish.

if you can find someone to do it, id look into chrome plating it...its not right for say a W30 type car..but its incredible...and you will never touch it again...ive seen it here locally a bunch lately. on low riders they are plating 62 and 65 66 impala grills and trim..its impressive..next time i see one i'll ask where it was done...

They strip, polish, and bright dip. Basically the same thing the OEMs did.

They did these headlight bezels for me a few months back.

Call them and ask. It all depends on size/dings/etc.
