Just got back from the stripper. The guys did an excellent job!! Didn't lose a single thread in any of the tiny M3X.5mm threaded bosses! That was my biggest concern that I'd lose a bit of threading if the guys didn't keep a close eye on things and acid started eating into the aluminum after the final layer of plating had been eaten away. As you can see from one of the pics even the machining tooling marks all remain intact internally. Perfect job and an incredible value at 60 bucks flat! They promised a week-to-ten days and todays the 10th day but I'd waited whatever it took for this quality!
Dark spots in pic is finger oil smudging the oxidation layer that remains after acid bath & rinse and protects surfaces from contact with overly acidic/alkaline substances until whatever texture is applied then washed away prior to anodizing.
