Hi all,

I have a CGE-Pro and tripod. The finish on the black metal part of the tripod looks like it is a bit faded. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to try to restore the finish back to close to what it was originally? BTW, I should mention that the finish is anodized.

Thanks!

Paul,

Anodizing can be stripped and redone. You could also have the parts powder coated. Even more color choices could be had with paint, but you'd have to select the painter carefully. You wouldn't want them to damage a machined surface when they do their prep work.
