Habe a set of Saint Cranks, most of the anodising is gone off them, wouldn't mind finishing the job and just making them silver.
As an added bonus, I'm thinking I can us this as a reason to buy a new power tool - a Dremel or something. Can anyone recommend a cheapish Dremel or equivalent which comes as a set with the attachments I'd need?
I was looking at this last night. Check out this link.

You'll do well to get that good a finish with a dremel.
I wouldn't bother unless you had access to a proper polishing machine/wheel and polishing compounds suitable for aluminium, or 'duralumin'.
If they are scuffed you'd be better off 'brushing' them with some scotchbrite.
Yeah, not really aiming for a chromed finish like the above, just a uniform silver of some type.
Autosol polish from Halfords, a rag and some elbow grease..
Best to test on an area first. 😉
Did that at metalwork at school with a bmx crank
It was my favourite part going on the buffing wheels
This will take off any paint or lacquer and give a brushed finish to the aluminium.
