anyone have pics of an anodized IC?

 

go to the first page of this post. Black Nugget has a picture of his on there.

 

just anodize it yourself! get a huge bucket, water, an acid or salt to serve as the electrolyte (even coca cola will work), titanium or stainless steel to serve as the cathode, a series of batteries (u can use an isolation transformer and then a dc power supply to adjust the voltage but this would be easier), and some anodizing die if u wish.

all you're doing is sending (+) from the intercooler, the anode (hence anodizing), through the electrolyte, and to the cathode (-). Oxygen forms at the + side, producing a tough aluminum oxide stronger than the naturally ocuring layer

ahh... the good old days in the chemistry lab

 

i think that is just a spray on coating, not necessarily anodized, But I guess it would look very similar except maybe less glossy.
