sure does bithed! silver alloy never looked so good…
from what ive read off the net regarding the process involved, timing plays a big factor in the depth of colour.
each piece in order to be the same shade must be dipped for the same amount of time.
there also was an article detailing the problems with industrial contractors being grumpy about there alu. fittings being different shades. some official guild person said that unless the aluminium was from the same batch, it was virtually impossible to colour match. this article was about bronze tones in particular so im not sure if this applies to the other primary and secondary colours.
another interesting thing is that titanium can be coloured using the same processes.
and the other great piece of info i found was that aluminium and titanium can have there surfaces impregnated with TEFLON. not sure where this could come in handy tho because bearings are usually fitted wherever moving parts are present.
