Radical!I love this thread. Said it before, and I'll no doubt say it again!
Love these mad cycle-science experiments going on in your house/kitchen!
Thumbies look awesome!
Continuing...
Jury is out on the front brake bridge... Was supposed to be 3DV and red, but looks more like plum and red. Either way, there is a tiny bit of contamination in the anodization. Not sure if I'll do this one again or just keep moving forward. Blemishes aren't bothering me too much.
Very hard to capture the color in the sunlight even though I am using a DSLR with various settings and flash options. Just think 'plum' and 'red' brake cable stop.
Edit: something screwy happened in the process and the dye is kind of rubbing off with a paper towel. Plus the blemishes! Tomorrow I’ll try again with a different etchant and do a water emersion rinse between steps (rather than a spray bottle). Also I’l hit both pieces with a scotch brite to prep the surfaces a bit better. As of right bow the result sucks!
