Color anodizing is a process that enhances the appearance and durability of aluminum parts.

Here are some common color options that we offer standard

(in addition to “clear” and “black”):

• Blue: Achieved through anodizing and can vary in shade.
• Red: Also achieved through anodizing, with shades ranging from light to dark.
• Green: Anodized green finishes are available.
• Gold: Anodized gold provides a luxurious appearance.

Custom Colors: Beyond the standard options listed above, various custom colors are possible (like the purple shown). Consult with us for specific requirements and part-size constraints. 

Keep in mind that color matching in anodizing isn’t as precise as paint or powder coating due to various factors like alloy differences and process variations. Establishing an acceptable color range for each part is common practice. If you need a specific color, call us first to understand what is possible.
