I have some Ashima rotors with blue spiders, they WERE meant to match my bikes blue but are totally the wrong shade and look shite!!

Whats the easiest way to remove the anodising?

Oh, the humanity.... 😆

Won't removing the anodising make them thinner and therefore weaker?

wet and dry and a bit of patience - try P1200 or if taking ages P800.

Or spray them black.

caustic soda removes the anodising..
most toilet cleaners work with caustic soda..so it`s easy to get..
apply it and let it work just!! until the colour is gone...and remove!,
the parts will be shiny grey, ..(kind of..)

I've used oven cleaner to remove anodising and had good results.
