Want clear anodize in a spray bottle
Every time I get a part which has to be clear anodized,I pay $70-80.00. Is there a clear anodize spray so I can do it myself , with a good result.

Kurt,
Anodising in any of its many guises is an electrolytic process and cannot be done just from a spray bottle. It is also something that takes a little bit of skill and process know how, that is what you are paying for.
The only way you may be able to do anything in-house would be if you could clear lacquer it. This would only be acceptable if it was acceptable to your customer. They would probably want proof that the finish was as good as if not better than they already call up and that will be a challenge.
