I have talked to a few friends who are jewlers and the have all suggested annodising as well. I have also been recommended a place in ACT. The worst bit is the labour sanding and polishing them back. Maybe I'll take your suggestion GTS and get them de plated and then it'll be easyier to re polish and prep them.
