I vote for taking it to MIT and see if they'll coat it with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. None more black.
He lives in Colorado. There's no such thing as oxidation out here.
Bro makeup...
A bike adorned with Monster logos and flat brimmed helmets abound!
well, there are jeep branded bikes
Still feeling a bit clammy. Got suspicious of the testing place so I drove by it on my way home last night. It’s a tiny little store front with a lobby that I would have to go into. Then drove by another one that is owned by Novant and it looks like they are set up for drive by testing. So I canceled the original appointment and will hone in on a drive by site.
Around here test results take 7-10 days to come back. We’re over 7 months into this and an autopsy is still faster than Covid testing. USA go bigly super strong winning...

It depends on the alloy and preparation. You can passivate stainless which essentially removes all the iron near the surface of the metal, which should make it pretty damn corrosion resistant.
It did 3+ years in the NE at the start of its life.He lives in Colorado. There's no such thing as oxidation out here.
I've never had any issues though, nor with the raw DHR I had too.
My old Turner has oxidation bubbles forming from underneath the powder coating. I assume sweat worked it's way in through scratches and wreaked havock. Raw probably would have been better.
If you want to do some pedaling, me, wife, splat, and Quo Fan are riding Foxboro Friday.
Another good vacation day today. I went for a run this morning then did some shit around the house. I had lunch with mom, which was nice since the woman ain't gonna be around forever. And Wife and I just got home from an 8 mile ride followed by ice cream.
Say hi to the gang...
Oooh, cool. I use a similar technique with precious metals called depletion guilding to create a gold or silver rich surface.
hell i live in the humid-ass south and no issues with raw. just suck it up and do it! it's a fun project and looks badass. you can always get it repainted later if you don't like it.

Cool, from what I understand it is a simple electrolytic process, an acid solution withan electric current.
We used to pay a pretty penny for the process to make things safe for pharmaceutical production, but it looked like something I could do in my basement.
Sort of right. It’s done by heating the workpiece with a torch to build up a layer of oxide which is then removed by pickling. Pickle is a dry granular acid dissolved in hot water. Jewelry suppliers sell fancy, expensive pickle pots but we just use old crock pots from the early 80s found for a couple bucks at a thrift shop.
Rode in 110% humidity tonight. All roots were wicked slippy and could not see crap through fogged glasses. Good times!
Ready for drop off
Sooooo.... what color then?
Great. Now I'm hungry for pickles. 
Will it come in rootbeer?
Thought your first time asking was sarcasm given the first 1.5 pages of this trainwreck of a thread.....see post 42. Light grey/silver with matte finish for a faux raw alum look.

Mixed surface bike ride to drop off my ballot this evening. Nice to get out for a solo pedal, at night with the lights, and do some civic duty.
