<R23>

R23 explicitly mentions anodising as a legal non functional decoration, however part of the anodision process dye, or other material is trapped within the pores of the anodising layer to change the colour, Certain types of anodising procedures replace the dye with teflon to reduce surface friction, would this still be a legal modification under R23, or would VUR3a apply as a additive manufacturing process?
