Seein' as I'm limited on what I can do I have been playin' some with my anodizer on one of the prybars I had pre-made before my wrist injury.
Been managing to make a few $ on the side with those and pre-made clips lately which has been good but anyway, I started playing with etching the prybar like normal after bead blasting it. Then anodizing it a solid color. Then I dip it back in the etch tank and strip off some of it but don't leave it in there long enough to take all of it off. Then I dip in the soda water to neutralize the acid and re-anodize. Over all I have five colors on this one. A bronze type color melted or blended over green, blue, and violet mixed all together for the effect of bleeding into each other with the exception of a couple places. This is my first attempt.
Let me know what you think. If you don't like it thats fine. I just wanted opinions. My wife liked it. The pics don't really bring it out as well as in person but since we can't do that really I will just show you what I have. Thanks
