I was thinking about getting a bunch of parts anodized and was wondering what kind of prep work is involved and if there is anything else i need to know about it.

 

i think powder coating is cheaper..

and they have translucient colors now too

 

I didn't read this link but it looked like it's what you were looking for, I just searched real quick.

reading that made me wanna anodize every thing i own hahahah

 

I got to looking a little more.. ( I didn't realize how many do it yourselfers there are anodizing) It seems like some work to set it up, but for the most part pretty simple. I guess it just depends on how big the parts are you want to anodize.

Thanks for the idea.. im going to keep reading into this.

 

hell yeah... thats what I'm saying. I'm about to set up my little anodizing station.:YEAH Plus Ive been drinking... you know how motivated you feel when you got a little buzz.

 

haha your hooked

 

good link. I bet you could make some money if you had a little set up like that. Thanks for the help.

 

Damn, that would be sick. You probably could make some good money from local squids if you do anodizing. That would either cost the same or be cheaper than powder coating.

 

its coo to anodize but if it is somthing u r going to touch alot with bare hands go for powder coat because i found out playing paintball that anodizing will come off when it comes in contact with your skin so many times im not sure what dose it but after a while the color will come right off

 

coming from an ex-paintballer, i'd say you got shitty anodizing....

there's no way it will come off just by contacting your skin. now it will fade if your out in the sun a lot and you gotta becareful not to scratch it. but you can do some cool designs and **** with it, **** you can't do with powder but powder is definetly more durable.
