Back of Valve - reg: coating?

[jeffremiller]

What is the reg of an emag valve made from? What is the coating on it (the brownish part) can it be re anno'd?

I'm pretty sure it's aluminum. I have no idea if it can be re-anodized. My gut tells me no, since you'd think you'd see people that would have done it.

watch...now someone will post a pic of their matching anodized retro valve.

it is aluminum. i dont know if they can be reannodized, but i did find <a href="http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56467">this</a>. its a cnc x mag...if you look at the valve in the second pic it is anodized to match the fade.

Yes it is Aluminum, It is anodized. but it is HARD anodized, which in short means it can not be re anodized. Hard anodizing comes in two colors only brown (on reg) and green.
