Question about E-Mag Frame Finish

[IcantBelieveit]

Thos of you who have the e-mag. With lighter colors does your frame seem to have a grainy type of look to it. but it is still smooth? I was just curious please let me know
by grainy i mean umm...looks like the grains of wood..that the best i know how to explain it but just let m eknow

its still smoothe, trust me, it looks grainy because of the metal used in the frame, it is a different metal. I was actually wondering if the frames were cast and not milled out, or if it is just a different grade of aluminum used.

That Aluminum is actually a real tough aluminum to annodize as well

i was just curious, b/c i got my e-mag back from anno and it was lookin grainy..i wanted to know if it was something the annodizer did or if it was supposed to be like that..

i feel better knowing that it is supposed to be like that

mine is very smooth. i think your anno'r didn't polish it or something.

well when i striped the ano from my e-mag frame it turned out quite grainy... i think im gonna sand it or something... and by grainy i mean its smooth but there seem to be light and dark spots that give it a kinda texture...

yeah, the frame's definately a diff aluminum... kind of looks like crap sometimes. i had a clear ano XMag and it looked pretty bad.
If you look close, you can see it in a lot of emag pics- esp. the tequila fade ones.

Yes its different aluminum. The frames are machined from a solid brick while the bodies are extruded. We cant extrude the frames.
