    Not much of an update but always something.

    I have finally found what shade of blue to use for the anodising. After looking for a good sample for a few days I found this in the "good to have" box while looking for something else...

    To paint aluminium is a sin, anodising is the only way to go...

    I'm surprised you've not be forced to use the Intel blue for the project. Still, I like this shade better :D

    Why's that? I have a custom case i was planning on painting that's made out of aluminium...Does it matter if you are having it done professionally? I guess i just assumed painting is the way to go...

    Anodising looks much better and doesn't just make the case look like it's been painted. What's the point in an alu case if you hide it behind loads of paint?

    Painting's okay, it just depends how you want the case to look. If you want it to look like it's made of aluminium then obviously anodising is better :)
