- I'm always up for something new and learning how to anodize at home has been on my list for quite a while. I still have a way to go at learning how to make improve and hone my process but I am quite happy with the result on this restoration.

We’ll Done. I think it’s totally time for an anodized revival
I really like the format of this video!! Most diy youtubers talk way too much about useless shit, If I made a video I would keep it simple and to the point as you did!!
The best way not to keep making the same mistakes over and over again is to get them over and done with in the initial investigative phase. These videos are always really helpful. Many thanks for taking your time to make them.
Reminded me those days when I tried to brew espresso - failure, analysis, next try, failure, analysis, next try, failure, analysis, next try, improvement, analysis, next try - until it went from uncontrollable process to satisfying routine.
Very nice result and black chainring goes well with purple cranks!
"If at first you don't succeed; try, try again."
Success is measured in the effort put forth to succeed! Sir, your efforts have been noted time and time again, and I'm sure perfection is very close! Thanks for more inspiration.
Thanks my friend
Every single video on ur channel is like a piece of magic show ... you never know what's coming next 🙃
That purple and black looks so good
Been so busy only just got around to watching this. My friend, I take my hat off to you...inspiration for many to get stuck in and have a go. I think they turned out slick great work as always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and hard work.
It's not really a mistake if it makes you learn something and progress! Kept you motivated pushing - thanks for taking us along.
Agreed. Thanks.
Damn. That's tidy. Good job! I've just dropped a couple of frames off to have a "Cerakote" treatement and while I was in the shop they had some AMAZING faded rims on display that turned out to be anodised (bronze to black). I was told how the finish of the metal needs to be absolutely perfect, or as close to, to get a good anodising finish so I can appreciate the prep work you've put in there!
Bronze to black sounds awesome.
Thanks for the comment! Where did you get the work done?
I know right?!? Bronze to black…..sweeeet!
Fail fast and often. Best way to learn, great job👍
Anno is an art all it's own. Good luck doing forward!
I see that you have been venturing further.Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Art, music, science, engineering, business...doesn’t matter, you need to do it multiple times!
This is a great learning experience for me I greatly appreciate what I learned from this video,thank you so much
Giving old things new life! Heck yeah... Its what i'm about also. Nice job!
These videos are very educating and entertaining too
Great job ! That second run did the trick .That purple is awesome .Thanks old shovel
Good work. Not gonna lie but the Stem looked pretty awesome as polished chrome.
Turned out great, you're a true jack-of-all-trades with your content!
Love the purple I've always wanted a purple bike.
I have the original RaceFace Turbine crank on my '95 RM Equipe Frankenbike. It's my favourite bike part ever.
More anodizing videos with old parts pleaseeeee :)
I love him, its how to do in real life thx oldschovel
I really appreciate your work. I'm glad you're sharing your experience. Thanks
The parts turned out great. Thank you for sharing your "learning" process 👍
If you lived near me I'd have you anodize some of my parts. Keep up the great work.
So striking! Nice work sir!
WOW! It looks so gorgeous. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful. Your skills, patience, and dedication is so admirable. Thank you sir.
Great Job, Nice Lesson. Please keep up the Great work. Thank you.
Dang. I was around for the first round of "purple madness," and I had a bunch of purple parts on an old hardtail TREK 930SHX that was all I could afford at the time. This was a nice throwback to those days! Thanks!
Beautiful color at the end!!! thank you for showing the try and error process. Silver ring would work also great with that combination.
Nice job. Love the purple
Looks really smart. Great job.
Love the way the cranks turned out .
Absolutely awsome. This goes above and beyond just restoring parts. Love this video.
Much love from the u.k.👍
Thanks 🙏
Great video, what a set-up, certainly learnt something new there 👍🇬🇧
Amazing work mate!!
Very Nice job!
Caustic Customs makes it all look so effortless!! Hat's off to you, anodizing is not easy. They look great.
True man friend. True.
Hey, there is no such thing a failure - just an opportunity to learn from experience! The end result was worth the effort, can’t wait to see the ‘Old Shovel’ branded, anodised cranks, in the shops for Christmas! 👍🏼
Damn that Gurple looks Great!!!
Amazing work! Kudos!
Great job man! Congratulations!
Great job 👏 I love the colour
Very nicely done 👍.
Beautifull work, as usual! Big love!
THIS REMINDS ME OF MY METH LAB BEFORE IT CAUGHT FIRE
How sweet!! great job!!!
Great effort, great reward, great colour :)
I was just thinking of watching one of your video's, i didn't notice at first that this was your channel 😁👍👍
I just learned hlthat Thomson has a new coating for their 7050 aluminum riser bars, Elite stem. Elite post and their seat post clamp. The sharper looking one is called Glacier 🤘🤘
They look great. I might try that some day.
Your carbs look sooo good better than anything I could ever dream of doing
Great job brother
Awesome! Great job!
Success will come for those who never give up! Cheers people
keep trying, wise words. not sure if I'll want to mess with anodizing, but great video.
Good video. I learned more from those mostakes
Looks good my man.
That looks sick
Well done. Thanks for showing the mistakes too. Getting ready to try anodizing myself for the first time within the week (waiting for the stuff to come in). I think this will be helpful.
Cool. I hope it goes well. I’ll be working at it still to hone the process.
i really liked the first version. looked kinda cool.
I used to work for an outdoor lighting manufacture and in the late 80's early 90's just prior to powder-coating, we anodized everything. The fixture housings, arms and pole/bases. What I learned early on was you never want to hit the parts with a sand blaster because any porosity in the aluminum is going to capture more of the dye like a sponge thus making it blotchy. Sanding and polishing is not going to remedy this. You dont want to polish it because it seals up the aluminum too much, nor will you get in the tight spots and it will come out blotchy. The best anodize jobs are on freshly machined or extruded aluminum. Another happy medium would be to tumble the parts in a stone/chemical bath, as that's something else we used to do. This leaves the surface with a very even constancy thus allowing the dye to be even. And no, you cant anodize cast aluminum, only raw, machined, or extruded. Sorry so long, just brought back a lot of memories. Keep it up, you'll get it! (edit) I wonder if a far less evasive soda blast and then stone tumble would do the trick better?
What method would you use to re-color a new anodized aluminum bike part? I have three small covers and levers that I want to change the color from blue to black and would have preferred buying some from the manufacture (FOX), but they only make them in blue which does not fit the bike's color scheme. Thanks!!
@@em1355 Easy, just have them powder coated.
@@em1355 Also. are you sure its anodize? Very few use real anodize anymore. New powder coat process and colors look very similar to anodize. Even if it is you can powder coat right over anodize. We used to do it all the time for marine grade climates.
@@Asphaltsquadron Thank you so much for the quick response! This was very helpful, maybe basic for you, but when it comes to painting aluminum (actually any type of bike, car, or anything else) I am totally at a loss, therefore I have been viewing countless videos and asking for advice and I am glad that I did because you made it seem much more possible. Thanks again!!
@@Asphaltsquadron Thanks for the quick response, I really appreciate it!! I will double-check, but I looked at the full description (new bike 2021 with Fox 34 Performance Fork) and it says anodized, but will definitely double-check. The Powder Coat idea was mentioned by one of your commenters below and since both of you mention this, then I will look at this method. Great video, I really picked up quite a bit, although typically I don't have the time (inclination) to paint bike parts, in this case, after discussing with the manufacture (Fox - weren't very helpful) they stuck to their one color (blue) for caps/levers even though black is a better color scheme match for the majority of the bikes. Sorry, too much information, but at least you were willing to provide alternate solutions. Thanks again!!
Amazing job....👍🏻👍🏻
I've watched this for some inspiration I've been anodizing titanium for a while but I want to give aluminum a try
Wow that was so cool I would like to try that myself 👍
Great vid! Love the music and the custom parts
nice job, thanks for sharing it
Well done for persisting with it, I think it turned out great as well 👍🏼
Thanks
I think it's an awesome job you do
Thanks for a great lesson.
Beautiful!!!
Amazing end result. Great process video. I’m currently doing up an old frame as a gift using Spray.Bike products - the Keirin flakes look amazing.
Awesome
You still did a great job👍
Inspiring as always...
Top shelf... I love it
Great video!
Great video, great music 🎧
Amazing work, I’m sure that’s why blue is the best colour for anodising
Fantastic work!!!
Thanks 🙏
Look so great sir keep up the good work sir
Cool tunes!
Looks great
Looks really nice. All this gear reminds me of the old days when I trail rode. Anyway, one of your videos randomly popped up, and now a subscriber.
Awesome
Awesome Video. Thanks for the Information
Well done thank you for sharing.
Another masterpiece sir 😍
Love all your restorations sir 😁🤙
Shout sir next video ❤❤❤
yoooo that was dope such a good job!
As you go, you will also find that different aluminium alloys will have a slightly different result depending on the elements used. Some work better than others and some are really stubborn requiring a different strength of electrolite and voltage to work. Also, consistancy can be difficult and no two batches are ever exactly the same!
I look forward to what you're going to put these on!
Thanks true on all counts from what I’ve seen and heard.
Good job 👍
It's really cool to see you working! Tchau!
Best content ever! Greetings from Germany
Those cranks are awesome
Thanks
Very beautiful!
Thanks
I'll try that one day,turned out reasonably well 👍
Thanks
Hi.looks amazingly man.👍👍💪nice job!perfect
Thanks
This was a well done video. Showing the trial and error aspect was smart and very informative. I have always wanted to learn how to do high level clear anodising (like Campagnolo used to do). The cost of the equipment used would be helpful as well. Thank you!
2nd effort much better.
Looks great!
I would pay you to anodize a set of cranks. That’s super awesome
Great vid as always! Lovee that shade of purple.
Nothing shouts "90s" louder than ano purple.
Wait,why am I(a 17 year older)saying this?
@@reapanomin899 my dream bike is Matt black with purple and white parts
