I have an aluminium box that is powder coated white. Nothing wrong with the powder coating I just thought I would anodize it a 'gold' colour.
This colour.

I got some horrible chemical to strip the powder coating off.
This chemical will blind you, burns your skin and gives off toxic fumes - apart from that it did a good job.

Washed it and took it to be anodized.
Disaster, cast aluminium cannot be anodized - well it can but it looks crap.
I think they must have felt sorry for me because they gave it back looking like this

Dave,
Are you sure you didn't tell them to give it the shiny metal camera treatment?

Nope, just asked them to anodize it. Yes sir they said - they call me sir 'cause I'm old, cheeky barstewards.
'Phoned me 3 hours later telling me they couldn't anodize it being that it is cast aluminium.
Perhaps it was me bursting into tears

It's not the end of the world, I'll paint it a 'gold' colour.
Like so.

It did look better in the sun light - not a lot

Not really what I was looking for. I think this will have to come off.

Why does that look like a box mod for an e-cigarette?

I have no idea - I didn't make the box.

Being somewhat disillusioned, depressed and deprived - well may be not deprived
, I had a brain wave "I know what I'll do".
So I did it and it came out quite well.
DaveH
well their was a project in their sum where
