Now i found this idea pretty odd but i suppose the concept stands. The idea is that the ‘baking’ process changes the annodising shade as can be seen in the photograph below. Each and every barrel in that picture was apparently black in the beginning.
Before you read the steps, can I just say (type) that just because its on the internet doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. I may try it if I can get my hands on an old barrel or similar to try it out and I suggest if you are interested to do the same.
At this point I'd like some learned opinion i.e. Tom Allen, John C, Jamie B etc who can shed some light on the process at work. Btw I found the on 'The Nation' and so should be taken with a pinch of salt. (For link see below.)
Steps:
black dust= dust light brown
black polished= copper/brown polished
blue dust= dust navy/dark blue
blue polished= light to dark purple or aqua polished
red dust= orange to orange red or light red to dark pink dust
silver polished= silver polished to whitish

Steps:
- Disassemble the parts you wish to bake (Including o-rings
) - Clean aforementioned parts with rubbing alcohol or similar
- Place parts on Al foil
- Place in pre heated oven to 400-490 degrees Fahrenheit (200-250 * C in real money)
- Bake for 2 hours (check to see how the colour is doing and remove when you are happy)
