Anyone here ever anodized aluminum at home? I just finished machining my 80% lower and I am weighing options to apply some sort of finish. So far the front runners are bake on paint from Brownell's and a home brew anodizing setup. There is info on the internet, but then again, they sell bridges there too. I am looking for somewhat more reliable/first hand info if possible.
Anyone here done it themselves?
Pointers?
Most of the internet info says to dye in a separate step after anodizing but before sealing with heat, but it seems that some are adding the dye to the acid bath. Is there a right/wrong way here?
I can round up a manual battery charger and the chemicals are easy-peasy to get and should be good for several uses (unless I am mistaken).
