Default Re: Some parts orange, some gold

Did you do a etch or strip step?
If you etch, and if you have mixed alloys, the 2xxx and 7xxx will come out smutty, and give you a clue that these parts should be run at 3/4 time.
I suspect that the lighter colors are 5xxx or 6xxx, and the darker colors are 2xxx or 7xxx.
Try seperating the alloys, and see if that helps.
