As you know, I'm now working with a new Anodizing shop that has different colors of aluminum anodizing available for a very reasonable cost, like $65 per lot of parts.

See the pics of Ken's orange Aftershock ProMod, for example.

QUESTION: What other colors of anodized parts would you like to see for the Aftershock chassis?

Hey Mike, Nice work on Ken's. I saw that thing up close Nice work to detail. Me myself, I would like to see some of it on a elec. I know it not alot to dress up. But it becomes your on look after. Lets say a neon yellow. If so let me know a cost of a elec P/M

Actually, that would be powder coating. Anodizing gives a color "tint" to the metal underneath, but it's not opaque enough to do fluorescent-type colors.

I had one vote for a candy red chassis, though...

How about green for electric T/F and F/C? I would be interested in a set for each.

I like the blue on my GMS nitro T/F. Mabye chrome?

I also need a wheelie bar for my elec T/F. Green would be sweet if possible. :mrgreen:

Thanks

Very nice Ken. Hello Mike....I have to say that I kinda favor the current blue color but also think the a red would be sweet, I also believe that a plain alumn.(raw) offering would be nice because a lot of the guys like to polish their alumn. parts......just a thought. 8)

Thanks every one ! I know if you polished the aluminum first , it gets a glossy finish when anodized . and you can even do a clear anodize over it which means shiny aluminum and no more buffing .
