Making candy out of old parts

[Henry Schmidt]

In search of restoration excellence we are in the process of colorizing mag and aluminum parts to restore them to their past glory. We are still in the experimental stage but things are looking promising.

That is the holy grail for sure.

You are the man, if you can pull this off.

[Henry Schmidt]

I was hoping for some feedback. What do you guys think?

Henry-

Looks great. I'm impressed as always with the beautiful work you perform.

[Trackrash]

Looks great. What type of coating is that? Electroplating, ceramic, or ?

Looks like Alodine to me...

Good afternoon Henry - what has the fan been treated to? The webers look great!

At this point, I'm not ready to share the process but I will tell you that it is none of the processes listed above.
As soon as we develop the process to a more consistence system, I will share it with the world.

I like the fan, as I am not a fan of painting them or their housings. The carbs look great also, although they won't work for strict concours. Will this process retain that look longer than the stock parts stay the same after soda blasting or the like?
