Fuck, you got me. I didn't even look at the dates after that BIGBOI dude posted. Man, that motherfucker ain't a TR advertiser, either. If I was a mod or something, or not totally stoned off of Percocet (I had to take it, got a headache that almost had me in tears), I'd so do something about him whoring his business around!

 

I am not whoring. He asked a question about anodizing. I am answering.. I don't post any other NEW posts about anodizing.

 

The point is you went back over a year to find a question to answer. He has already solved this problem a LONG time ago. You did not need to dig up a thread to answer it and conveniently do anodizing yourself.

 

I did these myself The only thing they are lacking is the final sealing step, though I could skip it but if you do it causes the color to fade in the sun.




pretty simple process process really. Sulfuric acid bath the part for a calculated time based on surface area, applying 12v charge to part and having a scrap piece of aluminum as a cathode (where the current flows out and gets all the junk built up on it)

afterwards soak it in dye

after the dye I tried to seal it by putting it in boiling water, but using a sealer would be better. playing with acid is fun

i would offer to do it for you but I dont wanna be responsible for anyone elses stuff in case I mess it up (which is easy to undo though).

 

Looks good for a newbi!..

What ratio acid did you use to water?

A nickeal acid seal would of done the trick.


Also, If you let it room temperature seal it works even better I heard.

 

I think its a50/50 mix of acid/water. I dont recall. I have all the stuff stored away and havnt touched it in like 2 years. If I were to do another piece Id have to look everything up again Ill sell someone my setup Just need a car battery charger

I dont think I boiled water to seal the handguards (first pic), i Just let it sit out, and now they are pink. I dont know about the gold kick start lever though, I stripped it after a few days cause I didnt like it.

 

Pink hardguards seem like they'd fit you.

 

why, did he buy a cruiser I don't know about?

 

 

Who do you think I sold the Fagna to, old man?
