Gogz- Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Hi all.I have got some Red Echo tr 4 bolt clamps which are like 2 months old, My friend pointed out today that they look like the colour is fading orange, It seems to be fading unevenly IE one half is red and the other isn't so red any more. Any way my question is, Is there any thing I can do about it? has any one had the same problem? Edited March 8, 2009 by Gogz- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Are your trousers/shoes rubbing them or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guuuuuuuuu leeeeeeeee Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 red and orange would be pretty funky imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogz- Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Are your trousers/shoes rubbing them or something?No its on the front . I cant see it being just down to anodizing fading quicker because my rear 4 bolt mounts are almost a year old and they haven't faded at allI'm now trying to work out if I can be arsed to drop tarty an email and see what they can do.

Greetings Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Mine have never faded and ive had them ages They've only been out for around 2 months.Don't know much about anodizing but perhaps the dye hasn't been sealed properly or the layer is just really thin? Wouldn't this happen if the parts were being anodized very quickly? Then maybe the surface wouldn't be prepared to absorb a larger amount of dye.

forteh Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Only thing you can realistically do is strip them if the colour change is bothering you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHA! no in not having a laugh.Chill out m8! How the hell is it passing the buck? If I bought it from there it's there problem not mine, any way I didn't say I was definitely going to send them back I said i was going to drop them an email. Any way It must just be me with this problem. the mounts are v good no f-in around with the stupid plastic bushing thingy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
