    Finalized Anodizing

    8 months of testing and modifying various time-tested and proprietary techniques with 4 anodizers has finally yielded the result I was striving for. Learned a lot along the way.

    Looks good Shaun. I know bright anodize hard to photograph well.
    The bright anodizing that was used was almost without haze and often so clear one can see the factory flaws (or extrusion marks) in the polishing....Bear in mind it was meant to replace chroming....
    Keep up the good work.

    Thank you Harvey, it's been quite a journey! And you are correct, it's very hard to photograph and doesn't help when you've dropped your camera a few too many times. I think I've gotten the clarity needed to match the factory original look. I could add a step and get them to be as close to chrome as possible, though I think my chrome would be hard to match.
