Well, chocolate milk does that to me, but maybe we need a new thread for this.

Back to dying the cover. I have looked into doing some home anodizing, and some say this dye works for coloring the aluminum. However, for anodizing they recomend boiling the anodized part to seal the color in, maybe the same thing could be done here to seal the dye in the cover. Many guys who seal using boiling water say some of the color may come out, so be prepared for that if you try this.

My TP will be in tomorrow, so maybe I'll give this a shot myself here in a little while.
