Touching Up Anodized Receiver: Smart, Affordable Alternative

Summary for touching up anodized receiver Discussion

touching up anodized receiver is the core issue in this thread: a hobbyist restoring an old shotgun for his dad has refinished the stocks and blued the barrel, but cannot find a good way to touch up the aluminum receiver without using a marker or buying an expensive kit. Justice M. Hinson asks whether there are cheaper alternatives. The only answer in the excerpt comes from an unnamed responder, who says that if the receiver is all aluminum and contains no steel parts, an anodizing shop can re-anodize it for much less than $350. The advice is practical but conditional, since the part must be suitable for re-anodizing. No other methods are discussed in the excerpt.
