Is it possible to have something that is already anodized, splashed? I have a marker that is currently gloss black with all of the parts matching and in good condition. Would an anodizer be able to simply take these parts and splash over them without having to strip and reanodize everything? Or am I misunderstanding the process?

short answer , no , you have to start all over , IIRC there is a sealer after anno -
No, you can expect the existing ano layer to be sealed. Using heat or chemical bath, the pores are sealed up so that when you get chemicals and dirt on the surface, the dye is unaffected.
That maniac beat me to it.Comment

It isn't as much being in love with the ano as it is that the ano is going to be literally brand new. Seems like a waste to strip brand new parts, risking throwing tolerances off, and reannodizing them. I'll PM you and discuss some possibilites.Comment

seems to me the way East cost ano described it that would cost more than re-annoing the whole thing in splash?

Cost isn't the issue. Tolerances are. Think I am going to just keep it like it is and move on. Thanks for the info.Originally posted by kcombs9Comment
