I redid my dash with new bezels and guages and need to match the throttles and trim indicator to the new colors.I have a Kiekaffer throttle and trim indicator and I believe they are aluminum.What would I do to strip the old paint and prepare for new.I need to make them very smooth.Would I send with progressivlyfiner sandpaper or what?

Are they powdercoated or anodized now?

we snet our to eddie marin to get powercoated. you gotta sned em al takne apart.....tehy came out goood

I am not sure how do you tell the difference between anodizing and powdercoating?

fishead,
I would send them to the powder coater. They will blast them and recoat. I have used a local shop just north of Atl for a couple of years now. If your interested PM me and I'll set you up.

They are most likey powdercoated and i agree send them to a powdercoater and have them media blasted and recoated. Your trim indicator may be cheaper just to replace.

What did Eddie Marine charge?

I too would be interested in this.

i truly cant giev an individuel price for the throttles, cuse they did (for a 42 cig revo wit trips), all the panels w/ engravin (about 6 ithikn of various sizes), triple engine throttle, and separate triple engine shifter(both kiefkhafer style), sterrin hub&steerin hub plate thingy, 3 handelbars, and two seat bases all for about 500 plus shipping. it was a great dea, cuse our cig project was already overextendin ourselves, and had to be done on a budget....ill try to get more picsof them later

also, used eddie marine, for about 40 somethingnew livorse balck guages, great service and would highly recommend em.
