Great gun metal blue
I recently took on the challenge of at home anodizing. Caswell was the best place for reliable information, I even used there online chat help. This dye was perfect for what I wanted to do. My goal was a deep blue for firearm parts and it took excellently. I would recommend to a friend and just know when your dying the depth of the color is up to you. I made a deep blue piece and a lighter glossy grey. depending on how much time it soaked.
