That's the only anodizing that can be dyed too. Do you seal it after anodizing? It will make it less abrasion resistant but prevents corrosion.

For my other projects, I do not seal. For this application, I will not seal.

Bring it to a spray in bed liner shop and have it Rhino coated!

When did you order it? I am hoping mine is in the same batch as yours!

Ordered mine on 6.12, prior to posting about it here.

After a dry fit, I’ll have it anodized, next week.

Yup, just got the email. I am having difficulty finding someone local to anodize it and I really don't want to ship it out.

Guess I will deal with 'raw' aluminum for now!
