Hi guy's, as I said I am just starting to mess with the anodizing. I have done a couple of junk pieces with different results. I did an old carb body and it is a bit blotchy but I really didn't put to much time into the prep work (to impatient that day). I will be playing around with it over the next couple of weeks and if I get it perfected I'll let you know. I think I just got careless with the dye (black) but time will tell. If you are interested in the process go to caswellplating.com and check out the forums. Thats were I get all my info from. There isn't anyone around here to ask so I am teaching myself with the "Damn messed up again method"!
