After pouring through threads and posts about machined vs. non-machined and running a brake, my head is spinning to say the least. A buddy of mine mentioned that another option is sending them in and having the surface anodized. Anyone have an idea of how much this would cost?
Thank youuuuu

i didnt read thru it but a google search came across to this:

DIY Aluminum Anodization https://astro.neutral.org/anodise.shtml

I got mine done for my bmx bike for 50 bucks. Looks great and i've had zero problems with the anodized braking surface
