What... you're afraid of pink?   ;D

My newly arrived SlikStik Classic is waiting for me in the box at home.  I ordered purple for my spinner top.

I have quite an old one, and I would say it is more pink than red.

I ordered silver and they told me I had to wait a month for them to come in. Bummer on the wait, but at least it'll be silver when it comes.

No need to worry about it being light red/pinkish.

I'll try and get you a pic of ours, but we ordered a black one and it's solid black...very nice color tone.

I've been looking into anodizing aluminum.  The color between batches is rarely consistent.  There is always risk when ordering a color like red.  You could end up with red, maroon or My Little Pony pink.

Its darker red than normal ... and the first photo is a dead on color match for that particular spinner color.

Anodized red fades fairly bad as well. I had some brilliant red anodized parts (like the first pic) that have slowly faded to a dull pink over time. This fading would be compounded if your machine got much UV or blacklight exposure.

I have a black colored one for a couple of years now and it is black, not super dark black, but it is definetely black.

It's not pink, it's ..."light red"

The blue is a nice medium blue color. Matches my cab perfectly.
