no rush....but if anyone here is getting a batch of stuff annodized red anytime soon and lives in los angeles...let me know please. i only have 1 faded spare hoop, that i figure i might as well have re-done. i will help pitch in for cost.

It's best to get hoops done in pairs so they are both colour matched.
Red (& every other colour) will always vary in shade to some degree when getting anodised at different times & different tanks.

Unless you are going for an early 1980s race bike build that has front Tuff wheel & rear spoked wheel , I'd either wait till you had a second matching faded hoop to annodised at the same time or give it a caustic dip & polish it up.
