Hi Limmy~ You must be the only one awake on KBD right now =)
Yup, originally it was a different color and had the same brushed finish. My local shop (roughly ~15 minutes driving from me) was very easy to find via Google. Luckily, being from Chicago, we have a lot of good metal workers in the region. Pricing, despite the level of competition, varied so much. Anywhere from $50 to $250 to strip and re-anodize. I went with the cheapest option of $40 and I'm very happy with how it turned out!
I'll be doing a full review on my blog, but probably not until sometime late this week or early next week.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like. I at least owe you answers for all the help you've given me :) Thanks for the comments!
$40 cost for re-anodizing sounds like reasonable price.
but better be careful with anodizing thickness. If it's thin(like under 10μ), that coating should be easy to get scratch.
Also, re-anodize still has some risk to ruin aluminium housing too.
anyway good job! it looks pretty :)
Yeah, I was very worried about the anodizing quality for that price. And I was well aware of the risk to ruin the housing during a re-anodize, but thankfully everything turned out pretty well =) These metal workers really had a good amount of knowledge to consult me through some of the risks associated.
Thanks for the comments =)
So, you got it in some other version then...changed the color at the same time applied brushed finish? Is the local shop easy to find? How much did it cost you to have the case reannodized to silver? I believe you are going to do a full review on it on your blog?
Wow, I have so many questions... They look pretty awesome by the way!
