No doubt on the 'blue' towels. Cleaned up nice. Still haven't replaced the old appliances since moving last fall so I wasn't too worried.
It was sorta like 1986 all over again...
Nope. Aluminum requires a different process. About a thousand links on the web about home anodizing. It's not difficult, but it does use some chemicals that are a little on the dangerous side, and good dyes are not cheap.
Made a little progress tonight. Seems the gold is very hard to get right in a pic. The V2 shocks look real good in gold. Tried moving the A&L chassis braces on the inside of the nose tubes to avoid using a nut. Also have a set of black nose tubes I might try.

May try and figure out how to get the Ti black.

I think they come in white too, but not sure. The have them at my LHS but I'm not home other wise I would tell you more.
The first pic shows the car how I got it. The pics on the Ebay ad were poor and from a distance, but it was cheap, $66 shipped. This is the car that was dyed with magic marker.
I didn't like the mismatched chassis parts at first, especially with all...
