I did unbuilt them myself, send them to a anodization company and rebuilt them after. I already asked Hope if it is possible to get special orders but they only do it for team bikes and bike companies. so my only option was DIY.
That sweet, I considered doing this to myn but wasn’t to shore if it would be hard to unbuild/rebuild caliper and lever, props for the full custom job
i can do it for you if you want. The anodization companiy is 5 min fron my flat and i'm a mountainbike mechanic (i ride hope since 95, i know those brakes).
striping down those brakes is easy, only thing you need is a special torx tool with a little hole in it's center do be able to unscrew the main piston retention plate on the lever ( the silver "Y" plate). Otherwise, really easy thanks to a very good conception and finish quality. Anodisation cost around 100 euros. cheers Emeric.
