very nice! the colors are nice and even, indicates your anodizing is consistent as well as your dye bath.

are you using real anodizing dye with UV protection?

I used bright dyes anodizing dye. Sealed some parts by boiling, others by nickel acetate bath. Made a big difference on the red. Shocks and tub are same color dye. Boiled chassis, acetate on shock bodies.

You know I sold you something on eBay and sent you a photo of one of these tubs stripped bare prior to anodizing awhile ago.
