Brett, you have too much time on your hand, but I admire the work that comes out of it. Iā€™m pretty sure he paints it, but yes you can dye metal. It just takes a lot of electricity, but that is exactly what anodization is. ---

It just takes a lot of electricity, but that is exactly what anodization is. Well, donā€™t mislead people. Thatā€™s not what anodization is, but itā€™s one property of the outcome that makes it so appealing in this industry. ---

Okay, okay Iā€™ll try to clear it up. Anodization is a way of ā€œDyeingā€ aluminum. You can use a regular RIT dye even, but there is a catch. Metal is pretty stubborn, and it wont just take a dye. What you have to do, is set up a complicated rig (that I wonā€™t go into detail about here) that basically uses electricity to make a bunch of microscopic holes in the metal that will ā€œholdā€ the dye. Sorry for any confusion. ---
