Covering scratches and blemishes in Clear Anodizing




We received some clear anodized frame with minor scratches and blemishes. Is there a product available to take care of this aesthetic issue?

Thank you!

Hi, John. As long as there is no duplicity involved, use an indelible marker pen in a gray or silver color, as matches best. This isn't a joke; anodizing shops do it.
