[blackrain]

Thought I would start my thread this will be a bonehead rc carbon build with red arrow arms and irc chassie pink base with black splash
Parts bellow getting anodizing so far

Will be running a bonehead rc 2 speed haven't decided weather it will be a on road or off road build yet big bore or small bore. Will be dying the tank black and a black pipe tsk b cage

Who's doing the anodizing?

This is gonna look sick. Pink looks like candy on the aluminum. Nice theme choice @blackrain

Did you draw the design?

 

[blackrain]

No, found those images on the internet

Ah sorry man the anodizing peaked my curiosity...Detroit does it themselves or subs it out?

 

[PortCityRC]

Damn good find

I think they sub it out. I'm not 100% certain on this. I know Mike subs

I'm not sure I'm assuming they must do it them selves

Makes sense. The splash anodizing is pretty involved @blackrain did you get a quote? I would like to call and talk to someone that does that to see how they do it

 

[blackrain]

Yes , I had him put it all on one invoice along with the parts hopefully by next weekend I will be all paid up

I don't think it's in-house. I'm not sure how serious John's business front iss

Mike told me 13 days per layer to cure. Apparently why it took mine over 39 days for the 3 layers splash anodizing, because the splash I'd a special ink. I'm 100% certain you will get your arms from mikes anodizer. Unless basic colors. John Parks would know,but then again he has his own anodizing guy and has all his stuff hard anodized so it's diamond hard

Ok, wow so after I finish paying probably a decent wait time before I receive it

It'll be a couple weeks, you have to figure on top of them already having a work load. You only have 1 layer of splash so only 13 days. Base ano is just like any electrolysis type anodization and is quick

Im definitely excited hopefully I get it all in mid november.

Odd. When I splash anodize I do it in 1 go. Now I'm super curious as to what's the curing process as the "curing" process is to seal the whole part. You cannot seal 1 area and move onto the next once the part is sealed your done and it won't accept anymore dye.

I was curious too because it didn't make sense when he mentioned a cure. I emailed a second time asking Mike to explain the process. All I know is I'm extremely pleased with my results and pictures I have taken just don't do poop for it
I'll get the company name for you too. It's a woman that does all his work.

 

[Rep732]

Absolutely. From what I gathered is the people that figured out how to do the splash want to keep the process secret
