Post by helbnd1 »

Here are two of my cars that I anodized, first time for me. Red is a short arm with 13.5 novak and a six gear, gold has an original stealth, 17.5 reedy, worlds shocks with 12mm springs. Both are re release worlds tubs with original nose plates.

very nice! the colors are nice and even, indicates your anodizing is consistent as well as your dye bath.

are you using real anodizing dye with UV protection?

I used bright dyes anodizing dye. Sealed some parts by boiling, others by nickel acetate bath. Made a big difference on the red. Shocks and tub are same color dye. Boiled chassis, acetate on shock bodies.

You know I sold you something on eBay and sent you a photo of one of these tubs stripped bare prior to anodizing awhile ago.
