Spreadherbar

You can usually polish that material, but you have to grind off the red anodized layer. I would start by using a bench grinder with a wire wheel on it to remove the anodization and then polish from there or you could buy one already done. the sponsor of this site has one for 275.00 and can be found at http://www.pim.net/newprod601.htm
and then you could sell yours on ebay or at a swap meet.

I couldn't help but be intrigued by the title of this post....

In terms of a 'spreader bar' I would second FordGT's comment that purchasing a new polished one and offering the old one for sale is probably the best and lowest risk option.

As per the title a 'Spreadherbar' (reads: spread-her-bar) is a whole different kind of piece of equipment I imagaine

I couldn't access the link but if you're talking about the aluminum spreader bar then yes, I've polished mine. Was anodized silver. I think it turned out pretty well. Probably took half a day.

Sorry about the title, just got back from a nightclub here in Silicone CA and different things must have been on my mind.

DOES 200, If you're willing to let an ameteur do the work I'll strip and polish it.

Nice Bar by PMI, thanks. Anyone know the correct process for spray painting in the letters? May look nice to match the car color.

On my stuff that I fill in indentations with body color, I lay in the color with a brush and then wipe off the excess with a cloth dampened with the appropriate solvent for the paint used. You don't have to spend a lot of time masking or being real careful with the paint. After the paint is completely dry you can use aluminum polish to buff out the shiny area. I have used this technique on my polished valve covers, air cleaner and "spreadherbar"

Ha, very creative Deeb. Won't see something like that on a stuffy Ferrari chat room.
