You won't get anno in that price range that is what you want and is any good. Try Tunaman for the powdercoating. He should be able to get you a decent price and I believe he uses PK Selectives.

$70 is still really low

wwa does anno for lightly more than that

BK, a team out of Idaho is offering the service. Not sure how they are but it is pretty cheap. You might check them out. I might drop some stuff off to them if they do nice work.

Here is there website.

just letting you know that if you powdercoat your mag body it may throw the tolerances off causing your gun not to fire in some cases if the coating is too thick.

Luke does very good powdercoating

Anno might be a better way to go. I have seen powdercoat flake over time in the past. It never seems to hold up well long term like a good annodizing can. Just an opinion. Either way you go find a reputable shop. I have used A+ Annodizing in the past with excellent results and great turnaround times. They weren't that expensive either. Good luck.

ive always thought if im going to spend money to make it look nice, that powdercoating has a gloss unachievable by annoe

Power coating is just that, a coating. Anno is a metal finish that treats the actual aluminum itself. Anno will not hide any surface imperfections at all. A good polishing job on the metal will give the end result a super high shine finish.

..why would you even think of powdercoating a karta body?...just shoot it raw for a while and save up to get it annod...

[Southparkrocks]

precisionpb could do that for around that price, they do a pretty good job too.

there's a guy in the pbn anno forums that does it for 7.50 a part.
