you dont dye metal. you either paint it or anodize it. I would send it to ibanezcollector if you want it painted, and ricerocket if you want it stripped and ano’d. Or leave it alone if you dont have $50
Anodizing with color is most definitely dying. It chemically interacts with the surface and imparts the color into the surface layer. While the process is different when dyeing a plastic yoyo, the dye still only attaches to the surface. Using acetone as an enhancer in the dye causes a surface reaction as well. Same result - surface color change.
Wow I’m gonna remember that for when I want to er “Cold Water” someones dreams or what not. I just “Q’d” somebody. That could be my new favorite verb.
I want a pony. No hays to expensive, and you just got Q’d homie.
Oh and redoing the ano is not Dyeing a yoyo. Be careful with the sulfuric acid. (If you are under the age of 12 you may need adult supervision) ;D ;D ;D.
One last thing I love that line. It works for everything. Now kids this next step involves weapons grade plutonium. This is very dangerous, and should not be handled with out adult supervision.
Anodizing: Aluminum is immersed in a tank containing an electrolyte having a 15% sulfuric acid concentration. Electric current is passed through the electrolyte and the aluminum is made the anode in this electrolytic cell; the tank is the cathode. Voltage applied across the anode and cathode causes negatively charged anions to migrate to the anode where the oxygen in the anions combines with the aluminum to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
Coloring: Anodic films are well suited to a variety of coloring methods including absorptive dyeing, both organic and inorganic dyestuffs, and electrolytic coloring, both the Sandocolor® and Anolok® processes.
Anodic films are what get’s dyed. The yoyo is anoed (covered in anodic films) then those films are dyed.
