I've been doing this for years now and will share the proper way to De-Anodize using Easy-Off. The first step is to go out and purchase a can of Heavy-Duty Easy-Off. I prefer the Lemon scented one. LOL!! Get a pair of rubber gloves (If your Skin Is Soft) and spray the piece that you would like to De-Anodize Refer to Pic #1
Pic #2 is of the K4.6 Head after I sprayed it with the easy-Off
Pic #3 is after 3 minutes try and not leave it on for too long.
Pic #4 Is when you flip over the head and re-spray generously. Let sit another 3 mins. It should look like this Bubbling/Working
Now you need to rinse the head very well. then polish and smooth out the head if you want some shine on it. I use 600 grit Ultra Fine wet Sandpaper for starting then #0000 Steel Wool. It should look like this at this point.
The final polish is up to you if you want to take it that far I usually do so I'll tell you that I use a Mother Billet Polish for the final Shine. Hope this helps people out that don't care for the Hpi Purple. This Entire process should only take about an hour from start to Finish. Here's the final result.
