We have been stripping the old anodizing off then polishing the trim. After 
polishing we will clear powder coat the cockpit trim.

This is a very similar process to the original annodizing.

Anodizing should provide a harder surface and one can change the color
through the use of dye.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing
