AUTOMOTIVE ALUMINUM ANODIZING

Anodizing gives automotive aluminum a clean, durable finish that resists corrosion, road salt, heat, and wear. Because the finish is part of the metal, it won’t chip or peel like paint, and color stays consistent from part to part across a production run. This is a smaller but active part of what we do at NIA, covering trim components, brackets, and functional parts that need consistent finish quality and reliable turnaround. If you have automotive aluminum that needs anodizing, we can help.

APPEARANCE-CRITICAL PARTS

Trim, brightwork, and visible components where color and finish need to match across a production run. Sulfuric Anodize Type II delivers the corrosion resistance and color uniformity this work demands.

orange Type III icon

WEAR-CRITICAL PARTS

Brackets, housings, and functional components that face friction, heat, or demanding environments. Sulfuric Anodize Type III (hardcoat) builds a thicker, harder oxide layer for durability under stress.

STANDARDS WE WORK TO

Automotive anodizing can be specified to AAC1119 Automotive Standard requirements as well as MIL-A-8625, depending on what your program calls for.

Production runs don’t tolerate part-to-part variation. Our ISO
9001-certified quality systems test coating, gloss, seal, and shade on every run.
