    Yes I have done it with mixed results. First off the Reservoirs don't pop off all that easy and You have a chance of ruining them. Anodizing Shops hate Gold, and probably Blue isn't much better. Because production shops don't do these colors very often they are going to have to stop everything they are doing just to do them and they will have no idea what the color they were when it was new. Like any paint job its all in the preparation. So You need to polish them before you have them done. Not to much not to little, just like the factory did it. If You want the most flash for the cash, I highly recommend you just buy new ones. Husqvarna-parts.com is way easier. Only problem is the replacement ones are not exactly the same as the originals. The shape of them is a bit different. Only a true Husqvarna person will notice. Anodizing is for exact restorations, new ones for everything else.
