Amazing. I only have 2-3 items that I’d get anodized. Both would be clear. If my Corli prototype is raw, then that’s good to go and could be done clear. My Battosai has been stripped and mirrow polished so I’d also do that clear as well. The third is a 2nd run Peak that I’d just again want done clear. Just depends on price and turn-around times! ---

I actually think anodized mirror polished yoyos look awesome. For exmaple, I mirror polished and anodized this peak for stickman.
