Looking for a shop who can restore the aluminum tailgate panel for a 1973 Blazer. Just a few small dents but also want the brushed finish to be restored afterwards. Rachel

Know someone here that can fix the dents, problem is the anodizing. Bright dip is a black art. If a new replacement is available, it will be cheaper.

A few years ago, a local Corvette restorer was using people in California for this type of work. Got the impression they were doing it in a backyard under the table kind of operation. Anodizing is basically a sulfuric acid process, extremely bad for the environment. Lots of controls on it.
