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.  DaveH

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 Wow DaveH

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

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. DaveH

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