Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
How come the Ano is so thin in the corners on these? Its not as noticeable on the tan but its pretty brutal on the black/grey/white.Originally Posted by 10mm-man
What do you mean thin? Anodize penetrates, builds up and then color is applied. I think you mean were it bleeds together in the corners, because of sharp edges. Anodize isn't thin though.

The pattern is printed on with a "printer". The color runs down the edges and it bleeds. The anno is still the same thickness.
I realize the Ano is the same thickness regardless of color, what I should have asked is why is the pattern so thin in the corners. JM answered my question.
Not quite the "actual" way it happens; but a good enough explanation, that will suffice.
That's how it's done on paintball guns that are done with graphics. But the graphics on those is far more complex.

So, are you using hydrographics? You are doing the ano, and then the graphics, then somehow sealing the two when you close up the pores on the ano? Is this a type 3 ano, or 2? Are you doing the ano all the way, and just printing on the parts, and sealing the printing? I'm curious because I really like the tan camo...
