Think you might be able to do a full white anodize? I know white anodize is supposed to be impossible, but look at the white on the Cyborg!

It’s clear/silver, not white. It may look white but it isnt

I know that. I was just pointing out the fact that the clear on the Cyborg looks almost like a real white.

Bear in mind that it naturally looks whiter with the contrast against the darker colours. Also, with it being the silvery colour it is, it will appear a brighter white when photographed in a light box (not even counting the post-production brightness/contrast tinkering)

If you imagine that ^ all over, then it’d look distinctly silver. A white-ish silver, granted, but by no means a pure white.

Soda clear would be so awesome.

As Gambit points out, the very bright white light in the lightbox is what makes clear ano look white in the YYE pictures. Trust me, it’s gray/silver in person. Even soda’d clear doesn’t look white-ish in person, it looks straight-up light gray.

Yep. I HEARD about a guy overseas that can anodize white though, but it’s really expensive. Might just be a rumor though, I don’t know.

Matte silver is how I’d describe it.
