I'm considering sending in the flat slip-ring I have to US Anodizing to have Victor refinish it.  It's one of the shiny purple-black ones, and I'd rather have it flat-black for the project I'm working on.  So, exactly how do I handle payment for having it re-anodized and shipped back to me?  I've never dealt with them before...Sooo...Yhea.

Incidentally, if anyone here happens to have a flat-black slipring, and would prefer one of the purple-black-looking ones, I would be more than happy to trade with you.

Call Victor, he'll guide you thru the process.

He's the best!

Just include the cost of return shipping with your payment & part/s to be refinished.

OK, thanks for the advice on that one!
Do I need to worry about degreasing the part before I send it off to him?

I probably won't be on that right away, so if anybody wants to take me up on the offer for a trade before I send it off to victor, let me know.

His price list says $10 for anodizing a slip ring.  I just send the parts with a money order, written instructions (color, contact info), plus a stamp for return postage.  Pretty simple.

You can e-mail him to check and he usually responds within a day or two.

ETA:  Looks like you got it taken care of while I was typing.  I might have one.  I'll check tomorrow and let you know.

ETA:  I checked, I have an extra black one in great condition.  I'll swap you because I want to have one done in gray anyway.

If you don't work something out with 45MJoe, let me know.  I'll have it for a couple more weeks before I send anything off to Victor.

Nope, send it as is, Victor will do all the necessary prep work before refinishing.
