There is a dealer on that big auction site that sells some of these in a lot of colors. I don't think they are anodized but possibly powder coated but more likely painted. They look pretty sharp but I personally wonder how long they will look this nice after having some fuel on them. If they are painted I don't have much hope they will look nice for long in use
Tim Wiltse actually does anodize engines and has some sweet ones. He also makes a rear rotor 049 which uses some of the Cox componants. Much like the RR-1 did.

Other examples or Mr. Wiltse's work:

John, Thanks for your flight report. I am glad it went as well as it did. I will agree that 35 foot lines will be much better.
I hope your next flights are soon and improved!
