Another point, I was speaking to someone who owns the silver one...
And they "think" there's no paint job anywhere on the case, just raw brushed aluminium.
Yet I look at
some photos & I swear the dress plates have some sort of paint on them.
What do you reckon?
*scratch*
Others reckon it's brushed in two diff. tones & anodised, but not painted as such?
The dress plates are painted on the black case, but there's conflicting opinions WRT to the silver one
If true converting to black will be more complicated than what some have claimed so far.
Whether or not it's more complicated than black to silver is YTBD...
These are the
basic steps (omitting much detail I imagine) as I see them:
silver --> black case:
*dip in lye to remove anodised tint
*wipe off (don't brush so as to avoid ruining brush lines?)
*then anodise black.
black --> silver case:
*dip in lye to remove anodised tint
*wipe off
*try to produce brush lines on the body & dress plates similar to the silver cw02 (
if they're not already there)
I imagine
black -> silver (because of the last step) will require more work & hence more $
if I'm paying someone.
Do ya'll agree or do you feel I'm oversimplifying & that
silver --> black would be more labour intensive?
