Interesting....
You could certainly guarantee all your parts would be the same colour.

[Desmo]

This site is much better.
Anodizing Aluminum

[Semi]

That's an awesome site, makes me want to anodise stuff now (looks at bike)

[Desmo]

Me too.
The power supply is the most expensive part of the kit.
I'll have a look around and see what I can come up with.
Maybe a modded PC power supply.

[WIGARUS]

Yeah I'll definitely be having a crack at this...

I'm certain I've seen DC power supplies at Jaycar before...

Converting a PC Power Supply

[Semi]

I already have a charger/power supply (will do both, has different settings). Hopefully that will work. Only thing is that I'll only want to do a few things, then I'll have all the shit leftover.

why not get a few people to pitch in for all the ingredients and do a mass anodising

That's what I was thinking.

[r0gue]

That's what I was thinking.

well dependent on colours i may be interested

[Desmo]

I was thinking of tooling up then doing bits for people.

[r0gue]

well im interested either way

i dont have room in my shed to set anything up at the moment but im liking the idea of this

[Wedge]

In for mass anodising, or info on buying this stuff in Perth.

[Desmo]

The only issue I can see is importation of the chemicals.
I'll look into it tomorrow.

[Sumatie]

It's not hard to do, the temp is the important thing

[Xuaxace]

Pretty cool stuff, let us know how you go with it .

P.s Both guides say that a battery charger is good enough for this?

[polonY]

i'm up for a group buy of this shit, i wanna do some r/c parts etc and can make a tidy profit doing so.

[WIGARUS]

I'd be interested in a group buy of the materials / chemicals required, but I'm not interested in a group anodizing, I'd prefer to do it myself at my own pace.
