Hi,

My dad has been doing a lot of experimenting with anodizing and we have some very cool new options! Also, our whole setup has been upgraded as well as our supplies. All of our dyes are now pro-grade as well as our sealant. Here are some of our samples:

Gray

Electric Blue
Light Blue
Green
Teal
Gold
Orange
Red
Deep Red
Neon Pink
Violet
Fluorescent Yellow

Pricing:
Surface Prep:
Already Anodized Hosts - $5 ea
Unanodized Hosts - 2 ea
Our Custom Hosts upon ordering - FREE

Solid Color Anodizing:

2-Tone Custom Anodizing (Splash, Marble, etc.):

Wow very nice mike. I may get those v3 in a splash anodizing, . Have to think about it though.

Oh and if I pay you in two weeks should I send them now, or wait a bit? I guess it doesn't hurt you to have them early right?

Mike, once again you and your dad have done a great job and we all appreciate you two!
I especially like the last yellow on the right first pic or the 4th pic down top middle) where the marbeling looks very refined (unless you call that splash).
Haven't looked into how anodizing is done yet. Is it one layer or multiple layers? How do you get the thickness that you want?
I really get the feeling that the pics don't do these justice at all.

The thickness of any anodizing is very, very thin. We don't exactly control it, but with the chemicals we are using, it is pretty thick as far as anodizing goes.

The pictures really don't do it justice, it looks way better in person.

The anodizing on my black Zaser is nice and thick. Makes me confident if it does get a scratch it will still be black. I remember daguin remarked about the quality and the thickness of the anodization and the host in general. He was impressed!!

What is this?!

Maybe it's the 70's funk-style-flow love in me, but I LOVE those red/orange and pink mixtures.

I think I'll need my sub-zero 638 block anodized in this manner. It must be worth it for something so beautiful. I'll sketch up those plans for you tonight.

This NEEDS to be done.

For the most part yes. Some tend to not get along though, like purple and black. We'll do a test to be sure before doing someone's host. The shade of each color will also vary depending on dying time.
