I bought one once to do a couple of small parts at work

It worked fine..........after a few "trial" runs  ::)

Funnily enough i was thinking the same today in work. Want a white oddy V3 stem but they dont do them. Fook it i thought i will do it myself........ turns out white is the holy grail of annodising  ::)

to quote one article i read - whoever develops a reliable method of producing a good white annodised colour would be an overnight millionaire  :D

It was about two years ago and did em at work...  :-\ for a customer not BMX parts  :-\

I know it was fiddly to get right, but like most things its experience

I've thought about getting a kit to do some parts........just don't think there's a big enough demand to lay out  :-\

Has anyone tried or been able to get hold of a rattle can make called METALCAST by DUPLI-COLOUR? Check the video on their website it looks good, however it is not readily available in the UK. Would be interesting if anyone has tried it.   :daumenhoch:
