I tinkered with it a bit and was able to get some half decent results. (JMO) Marko and Ped do a good bit of it and turn out a nice looking job...I'm sure they'll be along.I used this process; http://www.observationsblog.com/sciencetechnologyexperiments/anodizing-and-dying-aluminum-without-battery-acidAnd this was my result on 6061T6; I used an acid dye made for dying wool. Did not have much luck with RIT dye.Al
