已解决： Can this Mac be anodized? - MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports Late 2020

Can this Mac be anodized?

I'm fairly interested In anodizing, and had done it on several of my aluminum pens. I no longer needed the Mac and was wondering whether I can make the thing interesting. Can anyone tell me whether this Mac already have protective layers or it's just plain aluminum? By the way, my Mac was silver, so it seemed to be just bare aluminum, but Apple might have applied a protective layer and I don't want to dip the casing into the solution and potentially mess it up before I'm certain it can be done. Huge thanks.

UPDATE: Now I know that there's indeed a protective layer on the casing, can applying the acidic solution without electricity actually remove the layer? Or do I have to grind the thing with sandpaper to remove it? Still hopeful that I can have a green Mac.

Apple applies an anodized finish as you don’t want a raw Aluminum surface as it would rub off onto your skin which can be very irritating!

Buddy Ebsen became deathly ill from the aluminum paint applied when he was playing the tin man in the Wizard of Oz role.

Here’s an example on what would be needed Removing Anodizing & Polishing Aluminum BMX Hub! (Mirror Finish). Keep in mind all of the plastics and other metal parts will needed to be stripped before you do this.

Maybe it would be smarter getting a replacement uppercase and bottom cover, doing the lid is a nightmare! As you’ll need to take it apart which is risky(unless you don’t do it).

For me I went with skins which adhere to the case parts and if I get bored with a given color or the skin is soiled or worn it’s easy enough to replace with a fresh skin.

Thanks man! I guess that removing everything would be hard but I likes a bit of challenge, and I don't actually need the Mac that much. I'll have to decide on a color though. Anyway, Thanks!
