Does anyone have any recommendations for an Anodizing Kit?  The two that I see are:

https://caswellplating.com/anodizing-products/anodizing-kits.html

and

https://www.mcmaster.com/anodizing-kits/

Is one better than the other, or is there a better kit out there?

The Cswell works.  Never tried the other one.

Which one did you use, the standard kit, or the Level III kit?

Is it possible to convince you not to bother?

$500!

Just spray paint it.

At the time I bought it in 2005, Caswell only had one kit, sorry.

$500 can be a bit much, but that depends on how many your are anodizing.  I am not against going the spray paint route but only if it provides enough durability.  What would be your recommendation?  I have no plans on painting up in camo, just standard black.

Interesting.  I may look into it.  Another option that I have seen float around here is taking them to be anodized at a local shop.  There are a few in my area.  Would that be a viable option or is that frowned upon?
