Anodizing and Alodine Options co

We are pleased to offer anodizing and alodine coatings (aka; iridite and Chemfilm) for our spacers.
The 6061 Aluminum that most of our spacers are made of is the most resistant to corrosion of the readily available materials, but it is subject to corrosion over a long period of time, especially if it is exposed to salt and humidity.

Alodine Coating is an inexpensive chemical treatment added to the outside of the spacers that provides protection against corrosion. The cost is about $70 to process 10 lbs of spacers.

Anodizing is another chemical process that provides the best resistance to corrosion. This process also adds a hardness to the surface of the spacer. The process can turn a nice looking spacer into a beautiful spacer. It is available in 12 different colors. This process is an expensive process that ranges from 20¢ each to 32¢ depending on the quantity ordered, with a minimum charge of $65.00.

We do not look to profit from these processes, but rather look to gain your purchase of our spacers. We add a small amount to cover shipping to and from the plater and to ensure that we don't pay the plater more than we've charged you. If you wish us to get this process done for you, then make your purchase of that process here on this page along with your spacers. We'll take care of everything and you'll have your spacers in hand in about 10-11 business days. It takes 7-8 days to get the spacers processed and returned to us.

Please be aware that once these have been coated or anodized, you can not be refunded for that process in the event of a return. Our return policy still stands, but only for the cost of the unprocessed spacers.

If you wish to get this process done yourself from our plater, Stabile Plating, you are quite welcome to do so. You would probably save a few dollars doing so. We can ship your order directly to them if you enter their address as your "Ship to" address in your checkout process. You would be entirely liable for your purchase once the tracking on the shipment shows that it has arrived safely.

You would need to call them and arrange the proper coating or anodizing that you require and also arrange for them to ship your finished spacers to you.

Again, we will do this all for you and we'll ship your finished product to you in 7-8 business days after purchase if you make your purchase of anodize or alodine here.

Please read and be informed before you make this purchase.

Alodine Coating (This process will require 7 to 8 days before we can ship.) Please indicate the color you desire in the comments box in checkout. You may NOT combine quantities of different sizes for pricing on alodine. Each size must be coated separately. Combining can sometimes be done if we can separate them easily in our facility, but you'll need to call to make sure. Purchase a quantity of 1 for each 10 lbs of spacers or fraction thereof. If you purchase 2 batches and it only requires 1 batch, then we will refund the extra batch at the time we ship to you.
