Fox Kashima Color

I've dug around a bit, but I haven't had any luck finding additional components that would perfectly match the kashima coatings found on Fox's forks and droppers. Has anyone ever seen other kashima-colored (or coated) pedals, stems, hubs, chains, chainrings, bolts, etc? The color of the metal before, the porosity of the metal's surface, and the depth of those pores affects the Kashima Coating's color.

The color of the fork stanchions in the CTD era was sort of an alu gold, and the shocks from the same era were sometimes a grey color. Some high-end motorsports parts are adorned in the flashy gold Kashima Coat - and it does look really nice. The hard-anodizing and dying process performed by Japan's Miyaki Company does stand out as the top performance suspension coating used by FOX, which is now included in their new 2022 FOX 32 TC (taper cast) 40mm and 50mm suspension forks.

Kashima coat color differences between fork/shock in Fox Racing Shox. Kashima coating is a feature currently only found on Fox forks and shocks*. It's easy to spot from it's distinctive dark brown color.

What is it and why do they use it? First, a quick definition: Anodizing is a process by which a metal part (normally aluminum) is electrically charged and submerged in a chemical bath. No! before a big change on my bike I had 2012 fox float kashima fork and kash RP23 I fitted a kmc x10SL chain also! Kashima 2012 onwards gold is much darker almost bronze. The kmc chain is.

Copper/Bronze is a really cool looking color. If you're after Kashima gold, this is the color we would say most closely matches the gold of fox rear shocks therefore it is darker than Kashima on forks. ****SPECIAL NOTE**** Bronze is the most thin color layer.

While it looks rad, it is the easiest to scratch and is prone to discoloring. So keep that in mind when ordering Bronze. Kashima Colour Match Code? I'm building up a dh bike for a buddy and want to get the rear coil powder coated to match the fox 40's.

Anyone happen to know of a paint code that is a decent match to kashima? The gold Kashima Coat was first introduced on Fox Racing Shox forks in 2011 and has been extended to the company's top. The 2021 Fox 36 mountain bike fork and Transfer dropper are mounted up and ready for testing.

Here's a preview.
