My WeedEater was already been through a purplish color before arriving to this blue.
Same as the OG 2018 VROD, you can still see some purple on the top and bottom

I never went above 666F in my WeedEater, to achieve this color.
And it’s of heavy usage.
I’ve had the WeedEater since late 2018 I believe.
I need to recheck.
I keep the WE and SH ON 24/7 for months.
OG 2018 VROD was ON for almost an year non stop too.
I’ve never torch/heat treatednor electric anodized like some people did to theirs.

I’m talking about leaving it ON for large amount of hours.
My setups are ON 24/7 for long periods of time.
And this happened when I left the “already blue WE” for a prolonged time at 888F.
It was at that temperature for hours.
I believe I was trying to clean off some residue and trying to reach a deeper blue
Now it looks a pale silver grey.
It’s so so bad now, compared to the nice blue it was.
Lesson learnt.
