I sure hope it turns out well, Brett.
So I took my spacer out of the dye bath, and I was not amused at all. It looked worse than what I had imagined. So I guess a bit of fashion might be a good thing after all. I hate stripping anodizing off. Sandpaper is made with aluminum oxide (most sandpaper), which just so happens to be what the ano layer is. It's like trying to cut a stick of wood with another stick of wood. Anyhow, it had to be done. I've spent way to much time on the machine to take a shortcut now and ugly it up. I decided to change the color to an acid wash, too. I done some bike parts like that, and they turned out really nice, so I figured what the heck.
