Dye.
Do some googling :)

Re: Home anodising?

What are the regulations on disposal of this kind of waste once the kit is finished with? I take it that if it contains hazardous chemicals, chucking it down the drain/toilet is out of the question and I am not sure that my local recycling centre are set up for it (they had enough trouble with an arm chair!).

Could be quite interesting as a home kit for small stuff, but anodised bits can look quite tacky, fairly quickly when the dye fades.

Hasn't one of the comics just done an article on this?

Practical Sportsbikes did Zinc Plating the other month, similar process. Positive results.

IMO it will never be as good as a pro job so just let them do it, same as chemical blacking and as Tam said, safer.

You'd be better off getting good at it and then setting a store up on here.
That'd make you money never mind saving you money.

Still... its not for me though :)
