wow thats pretty cool i may try that someday.

This is cool, I was debating on powercoating some of my projects but decided agains because of the money. Maybe if they are aluminum I could do this instead. I bet this would be real cool in my car too.

Does anyone know how I can check if something is aluminum or steel without damaging whatever I am testing? I think the case I was thinking of may be steel in which case this won't work.

Are you serious???

Try a fridge magnet. If it sicks, it's steel...

What Bucko Said....magnet Test!

My bad, I have 1000 other things to think/care about besides the properties of steel. Thank you for answering the question and making my life a little easier.

That is pretty crazy and very involved. So extreme I like it. If you where gonna do a case panel you would need a lot of sulfuric acid.

Lots and lots of sulfuric acid, and a HUGE container!
