Anno Process question?

[Resurection]

Anyone know if it is possible to get a marker anno's with a dust finish and then polish it later? Without ruining the anno job?

[ojhspyro89]

Correct me if im wrong...

In this case, when getting an ano, you can have one or the other: dust or gloss. When the metal is clean, the dust is going to look flatter, obviously, than a shinier gloss. If you want your marker to shine, get an ano with a gloss finish.

cant polish out the dust without ruining the anno, because the dust finish is the metal that is colorized in the process.

So is a 'dust finish' something that is applied to the metal, or is it simply the metal before polishing occurs?

[Tunaman]

Dust finishes are acheived by either blasting the parts with glass beads or some other inert material or they can also be had by a chemical polishing process...

10-4, so the anno process happens and that colors the piece. Then it goes through either a polish or a dust process. Got it. I have some special anno plans for the next gun. :D :D

[Tunaman]

no. Its dusted or polished before final anno...

[Resurection]

gotcha.

you're going to flip when you find out what I am (possibly) planning :dance:

(Are my pieces still going to where you told me?)
