Hi There!
Actually I was thinking of using the same anodizers who dunked the
power supply that I made for Gary Chang's monster Wiard system.
It seems to match the blue color fairly well? That would be if we silk-
screened white graphics on top, however I'm more inclined at the moment
to do all of the lengends and the ornate patterns (an original design)
purely
in the anodizing process - so that the silver graphics would be dyed
directly
into the aluminum itself. Maybe I could send them a tiny chip of Wiard
panel
material scrap (!) as a sample of the actual blue desired?
From what I've learned it seems that most anodizers use pretty much the
same standard bottles of industrial dye and there are only three basic
shades of anodizing blue... "You've got your greeny-blue, your blue-blue,
and your reddish-blue", I was told. The other major color variation is
in the
hardness of the aluminum itself. A hard aircraft type aluminum, while
easiest to machine crisply, will not take-on the graphics at a molecular
level
as well as gummy soft aluminum, unfortunaletly this means a higher
rejection
rate and a lots of extra deburring.
Knowing all of the above, I feel confident in being able to zero in,
(there's that
word again!) on a compatible shade of blue that will match.
As far as the graphics go, we could create a new poll on Yahoo's
"The Cyndustries List" showing the three panel graphic variations, and
have a
vote by the prospective recipients of the Cynthia brand Wiard-blue flavored
Zeroscillators for their favorite design. (Hey Grant, does all of this
sound
strangely familliar? Yikes! LOL!)
Best wishes!
