Anodizing help

[markdem]

I knew something was up when i saw bits of stuff flaking off the body after the anodizing bath but i decided to dye it anyways.

I dont think it has anything to do with the types of materials. Look at the expansion chamber - the threads took dye perfectly but the rest is trash

What did i do wrong?

Tried again. This time everything took well except the extruded body. How do people go about doing different metals?

Frustrated with splash effect so i went with solid color. Problem solved. I guess im doing something wrong with my splash effect thats messing with the anno?

Blue is the worst color with different alloys. The original Xmags were blue and didn't come out perfect either...
