Suggestions for a small job (window trim, decals)

I bought aluminum front and rear windshield trim, a front porsche decal, rear P O R S C H E decal, and now all I need is someone to remove the black anodizing from the two door handles and window frame + install parts I bought. What kind of shop should I be going to? and which ones would you recommend in the Los Angeles area. I am not looking to spend more than 400 dollars.

Thanks

how would you remove the windows, these instructions involve dipping the anodized parts into a bin, this seems quite difficult and timely, i am asking for a recommendation for a place to do this for me.

King of Trim (formerly AnoBrite) can do the refinishing. You give them the parts and they refinish them - removal/reinstall is your problem.

$400, especially if you're paying for install and not doing it yourself, is not going to cut it.

Use a can or two of oven cleaner (with lye). Warm the metal up with a propane torch until it is about 120 - 130 degrees. or just let them sit out in the hot sun for an hour. spray on the oven cleaner and wait 30-60 minutes and then use some medium to fine steel wool to clean off. I did all of my trim this way and it worked great.
