Heck, I think even the amount of electricity running through the different baths or water hardness during the plating process would have an affect on the end product, aesthetically. I'm just a machinist by trade so while I'm familiar, I'm no expert. Handling over time will begin to wear on the coloration of an anodized surface but, a computer shouldn't really be affected by that.who knows? Maybe a plating expert will chime in.

It's hard to say what the problem is for the people who've had an issue. Luckily for me, the Italian in me must secrete olive oil so I'm ok : ) Also, there are indeed many people who have a naturally acidic touch through their hands and metallic surfaces should be wiped down following handling. and the difference between the 2 hdds is exponentially better. slakr7555 said: touch-up paint doesnt exist because there is no paint on them. But, it's only aesthetic, meaning, the actual conversion (anodize) is still intact. 2010 13.3 macbook pro 8GB DDR3 500GB 7200 RPM HD also an Imac G4 that sits and collects dust. Then, once it's dipped in the last bath, the surface will have some areas which did not receive an even conversion and will perhaps be susceptive to wear. I can't recall which bath it is exactly, but if I recall correctly the first bath (in the line) is degrease and then chemical conversion.if one of those two is not executed properly, the (end product) anodize will end up with like a dust on its surface.
