He knows he wants to. He's just too ashamed to come out and say it. That's why he was asking how color comes out. You gotta read in between sometimes guys...

Ain't that the truth. I spent only a year with a company that dealt w/ anodized parts & was talking to 1 of the guys that had been doing it for 30+ years. I thought my head was going to fall off...lol.

We have good Luck using Black Oxide, we do it to all of our reluctors for LS Cranks. It gives them a nice finish, and prevents rust.
Here is a link to the Company. that does it for us.

I do black oxide as well but we're talking aluminum here and aluminum cannot be black oxided.

I can't tell from the picture but this might be anodize or another coating altogether.

No, but the most visible work we do is anodize for Gregg's Custom Cycles (in lots of magazines), Phil Wood, CRG and out largest customer Fox Racing.
