Possible to anno/powdercoat X-Valve?

[stircrazzzy]

So, I have a black x-valve in an all-dust-black mag. It looks like garbage. Any way to get the x-valve redone in dust?

[athomas]

Sure. Take the valve apart so that only the aluminum parts remain. Then have those sent to someone who annodizes aluminum.

Remember to remove the Z pin on the valve.

[knownothingmags]

send it to someone who is proficient in annoing x-valves.

if the anno is not done right it will be scrap.

talk to bazooka boy

Remember to remove the Z pin on the valve.

Or send it to someone who knows what they are doing and leave the z pin.
If I need to drill out the pin they are not anoing my valve

[stircrazzzy]

Yeah...drilling out that pin is not something someone as amateurish as myself with power tools should be attempting :P

Besides, I'd NEVER be able to get the thing back together. Dangit!
