yes they can be reanodized - you need find a good company to do the work.
They also can be cleared, not sure what is used to clear the trim ( it will dull over time without protection
I have a local guy that does stainless and aluminum but no local anodizer. He mentioned a clear coat I can find out what he would use. He does show quality work on all kinds of trim.

The letters on trim can be repainted - Restorers of my 1962 hood trim have done it for me.

Thank you Paul. I am going to experiment with a couple different clears. I will search locally for anodizing too.

Isn't there a product call Zoops or something like that for coating polished aluminum trim?

 

[Joe R.]

I'll look into Zoops. Trunk hinge was a perfect fit BTW.

Good deal, glad to help.

I've been making some progress.

Silk smooth black paint makes you a brave brave man. Just makes me think of how far away from a business you will park to stay away from everyone. LOL! We all need to get our steps in anyway. If you park sideways out by the street and take up 3 spaces. Be sure to set out a poster board to make it look like a car show. Then no one will question why you have it chained off to keep people away from it.

Haha!
This car was originally black, so I thought I would stick with it.
The body work has been challenging! It is soooo much work, but when black is dead straight, there is nothing better!
I'm trying and I've never done this before.
