Color Anodize Overview

Aside from the assorted benefits unique to each type of anodizing, the main benefit of color anodize is the long-lasting finish it provides. Paints and powders are more prone to physical damage. Chipping and color fading due to sunlight exposure can occur to components that have been painted or powder coated.  Color Anodize, however, doesn’t chip nor fade. 

Since the dye is chemically bonded to the surface of a substrate and then sealed post-anodizing there is no risk of chipping or other surface damage. The oxide layer that builds around a substrate during the anodizing process is resistant to corrosion, this prevents rusting. Color anodized components can withstand a multitude of extreme conditions and still maintain a bright, colorful, and aesthetically pleasing finish.
