Need a finish to hide finger prints, smudges, and dirt? Consider anodize! It’s the perfect option to hide daily use. Provides abrasion resistance and can be readily dyed to many colors and sealed with nickel acetate, dichromate or water. Additionally, anodize provides an excellent base for primers, bonding agents and organic coatings. As an industry staple for years, brite dip anodize gives aluminum a glossy, reflective shine that stands up to daily use and maintains a bright surface.
