Does any one know of any Aluminum anodizing shops that I
could send a few parts to have anodized?

Or do I just take some electricity, food coloring and water
and try to do it myself? * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

of anodizing. Kind of like a tye dye look. Hmmmmmmmm I'm

kOOL-Aid work better than food coloring. *And be sure you have 200 amp service at your house, or it won&#39;t work out right.

Check out this site, real homemade anodizer http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize.html

I wonder if I could anodize my whole sled with my 170 amp welder *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif *That would be sweet *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

did you know that Coke absorbs enough aluminum from the can that you can actually annodize the liquid? *Pepsi too. *It doesn&#39;t show up really well though because the soda is so dark brown. Remember Crystal Pepsi? *That clear stuff worked great for this.

You could even do the tie-dye motif with Crystal Pepsi!

Just what I was looking for AC, thanks!
Now does anybody know how to get canari (sp?) yellow color
to show? I&#39;ve seen some anodized tunnels at racer-x.com
that look nice. Just haven&#39;t seen a true yellow color from
being anodized that doesn&#39;t look more gold colored.
