Bored? Anodize!

OKay here we go. I got really bored and wanted to see how well this would go.


this is when i started with just the ARC tag pretty simple and normal

Annnd this is when I decided to see what kinda higher voltage colors I could get.. as you can see.. magenta and teal.. And it all went bananas from here.

I mean really crazy... I just went ahead and did the entire thing in a bunch of colors, but low voltage ones, blue, brown, yellow, and purple, with a bit of cyan here and there.

Closeup

The colors could have been more even, but I decided to do a burnt fading look on it as best as i could. It looks pretty cool under the hood. Since the colors are just the rust layer on the titanium defracting the light, from differetn angles the colors look slightly different.

This last one is dirty as hell cause I drove through a freaking storm for 8 hours with my vent cover off... as you can see dirty water and such causes the colors to come out differently...


Gonna polish it up a bit... but it seems like it would have been a better Idea to do a bit here and there and not the entire piece... but since i was curious it gave me a big work area to see what kinda colors I could get out of the titainum.

Let me know what you guys think

Had a little more free time so i just redid it in a higher voltage color, Gold/Magenta/Teal, It looks cleaner, but I think the dark blue/purple looked alot meaner

the layer is no more than 300nanometers thick, you can remove the oxidation with some stronngg acids, or just grind it off and polish it out again to whatever it was originally.

looks good, but you should take some more normal under the hood shots so we could get a better idea of what we're looking at.
