Anodized finish
Anodizing integrates with the aluminum surface and offers characteristic metallic variation in a limited color range.
Painted finish
Factory-applied architectural coatings offer broader color control with performance tied to coating type, pretreatment and exposure.
Samples and tolerances
Approve representative samples and define acceptable color variation across extrusions, sheets, batches and viewing conditions.
Care
Cleaning methods must suit the finish and environmental exposure without damaging seals, glass or adjacent materials.

Can anodized and painted parts match exactly?
Not reliably. The materials and processes produce different visual effects; use samples and intentional transitions.
