Default Re: Fast Blue with a green tint

I went for about .7 mil hoping that the color of the anodize wouldn't affect the blue shade as much. My theory was that the clear anodize layer would result in some off silver color which it usually does and it must have some yellow tint in it to be pulling the color to green. The blue I'm going for is actually kind of light in my opinion which is another reason I chose to go thinner on the thickness. The pictures probably don't illustrate that the best. The customer indicated that he ideally would want it a little lighter than the tape... but will accept something close.

Great tip on the color tinting. I'll have to try that this weekend.
