It's probably that gold plating crap that looks cheesy and wears down after a while. You get what you pay for, just go for a single color ano if you want to save money.

this site has a list of shops around the country that can anodize

heres some links on how to do your own anodizing

http://w3.uwyo.edu/~metal/anodizing.html
http://www.anodizing.org

i think this site explains how to do a splash ano, not sure tho i just skimmed thru it http://www.docsmachine.com/tech/anod.html

site with pics http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize.html

this site is pretty technical, but im not sure how accurate it is cause its on geocities http://www.geocities.com/chemengr_60064/anodize.htm

also i wouldn't use car paint because it probably would scratch easy unless you had some sort of protective coating added. if you do use paint there is a paint i've seen on some imports and other customized cars that changes color depending on the angle you look at it and the lighting, its pretty expensive tho.

Lot of very interesting informations. Indeed they explain how to do splash and fade anodising.

Thanks.
