Anyone tried Re-Anodizing their Condors/Talons

I use a container large enough to fit the part filled with water.

I spray on easy off oven cleaner onto the anodized part and let it do its work and monitor how it is removing the anodizing. Then dunk the part into the water to stop the reaction. Check the part and respray where need and redunk to stop reaction. A few times of this and you can carefuly remove anodizing. If you are not careful you will remove some of the aluminum. But submersing it in water you can control the removal of anodzing.

Gloves and eye protection and breathing protection needed.

I believe that airforce guns have a type 3 hard anodized coating. With the materials that you would have access to you would most likely be applying a type 2 anodized coating. Type two is much thinner and less durable than the type 3 that has already been applied. A type 2 anodized coating is really only used to hold a dye on the aluminum, and is not really useful as a protective coating. If airforce airguns do use type 3 as I have heard they do, then I would not really want to mess with it. If you still want to go through with it the black coating may be removed with sodium hydroxide (lye, caustic soda, drain cleaning powder, etc). To reanodize you will need a 15 percent sufuric acid mixture. Sulfuric acid is available as a battery rebuild kit, which contains 30% sulfuric acid.

A sand blaster my friend.

Taking off anodizing is easy. You just have to know what to use 😛

I seen some purple ones out there
