Acid Wash

[FireITup14]

How exactly does this work and what makes it different from anodizing? Is there anyone that does it? I saw some awsome acid washed emags in the bst :wow: and i wnat it sooooooo bad

[magmonkey]

acid washing is a type of anodizing

the first color is dyed and then stripped back with either nitric or sulfuric acid (or other bleaching agent) and then re dyed a second color and sealed

That viking is awesome looking. Purple is not my favorite color at all, but that makes purple look cool. But my opinion probably shouldn't be counted because apparently I'm the only one left in the world that misses the old splash anno jobs that SP used to do on their barrels and guns.

the purple one was one of my favorite markers we did, and we still have it for sale,

you are not the only one who misses splash, i have a pk select mt dew splash minimag

thats my Purdy Xmag.
let me tell you it looks great in person too

[Evil1]

That is great news. I thought splash was gone forever. It will come back. In a few years people will probably think dust finish is stupid. And, how much is that vike going for? I may be interested.
