Laser Barrels V2. GB. Second run. Kryton Groove

To be honest when it comes to the darker colors especially black it will not make any difference to polish it prior to anodizing.  I know if you were to go with like purple or blue however it would change the color that is being anodized to be more of a polished look to it instead of a matt look.  I think that's probably the ONLY difference that the polishing is going to make prior to anodizing with the exception of clear.  I think the best way of explaining what it would be would be the difference of painting something with fingernail polish or an acyrlic paint that was thicker.  Hope that gets my idea across.

Thanks for that info. I was under the impression that the polishing would "smooth out" the micro grooves from milling machine.

My bad!

Actually the polishing will get rid of those machine grooves. and I talked with the anodizer and he said that polished black looks more glossy than unpolished black.

kenom you're really doing a great job with all of this. I know for one that i appreciate all the work you're putting in to this. Thanks man.

Purple preview is on the way mike, as well as black. I'm just having a good wrestle with the software at the moment though so it could be a day or 2.

Crazy --

NO -- Purple is my crazy thing with Ken because I made my Purple People Eaters. My purple thing is a joke between us. Sorry....

Re: Laser Barrels V2. GB. Second run. Kryton Groov

Actually yes.  Purple is an anodizing choice.  Check the whistle pig site.  Do they have a something to purple fade?  then it would be safe to assume that they can indeed do purple alone.

Ya know mike, I had every intention of getting your Kryton Groove anodized in purple for ya as part of a poke back atcha for this wonderful joke :) but YA DIDN'T ORDER ONE!!!
 
Re: Laser Barrels V2. GB. Second run. Kryton Groov

Well if you can get it done in purple then I'll take the second barrel in purple. So 1 red anno and 1 purple anno.
 
Re: Laser Barrels V2. GB. Second run. Kryton Groov

I've missed something... Yet again. Is the clear anodizing going to actually be clear, or will it look like the matte aluminum they have on the website? Sorry for the stupid question. :D
 
Re: Laser Barrels V2. GB. Second run. Kryton Groov

That is kind of unclear as to the EXACT color the clear will be. I think it will be like the matte. Or similair to the render that scog did.
 
Re: Laser Barrels V2. GB. Second run. Kryton Groov

Cool.  Purple is cool especially if your going to be turning it into a bluray.  Now I plan on seeing if it's possible for them to anodize the Bluray ensignia onto the side of the barrels.
