Your plate is in the custom of the month contest too bro

Saw that. Pretty awesome.

The plates from a pitboss 1 or 2 I'm told by the pro are a different type of titanium. Apparently cast and not poured which makes them incredibly hard to polish. Doable to a point but never as easy or as nice as xmetals. I'm getting there though. Maybe another half hour or so with some mothers by hand and their good.

With the help of my good buddy and another new friend I've made here in the last few weeks I'll be going hard on anodizing. The purple on you see I did with 9volt batterys. I ordered the DC power supply and have all the other 100 things needed to do it.. lol. It's supposed to be here before the 15th. I cant wait to do some neato stuff. First thing is gonna be a green xs.. then I think a light blue or gold xx. I've got all these plans and pairs waiting to go. Perhaps a purple romeo.. fingers crossed the supply comes when its supposed to lol.

I don't really know @zwc0442 and @Bonz-1 would prob be able to say. To me it looks gold in person. The photos dont really show the real colour. 10.9volts or so..

This is the before pic from yesterday

Oh it's a light bronze ! The x-square has so many sharp angles it makes them look darker in spots than they are!!
Great work !!
