I've got a couple billet lowers I want to get anodized - one is going bright pink for the old lady..
looking for recommendations for some place local? I've polished them up to 1000 grit so far.. I managed to get out all of the tooling/machining marks not sure how far I need to go for bright anodizing either.. should they be polished with a cloth wheel? From what I understand, any defects get magnified with anodizing.. http://<ahttp://s5.postimg.org/hxv183hh3/topview.jpg</a>" /> http://<ahttp://s10.postimg.org/5hfkbmwqh/polishedlower1.jpg</a>" /> |

+1 for Southwest metal finishing, they do all of our stuff.
Check the first three photos of the purple rifle I built for my wife for christmas to see a sample of their type-II color work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/predatortactical/ I know I'm doing a run of mil-black and purple in the next few weeks, may do pink too. If you want to get in on it I could split the lot fee with you, which is less because we do a lot of business with them. Give them a call about your finish question, they're really helpful. We bead blast everything, so I'm not sure how a polish would turn out. We are actually doing some sample pieces with various finished (brushed, blasted, high speed skim cut, and polished) to see how it turns out. I know when we blue steel it makes a big difference, I'm hoping the results are similar with anodizing. |
