Good luck. I sent them a "request for quote" on two seperate jobs and never got a reply.

Try calling ATMF and ask for Kelly Downs, she handles all the paintball related work. Kelly has given me quotes over the phone both times.

I have used them a couple times recently. Their prices are great and the work is too, just be prepared to wait 3 to 4 weeks.

I use thefool (http://www.topazanodizing.com/), His turn around time was less than three weeks and his prices were the best I could find. He has decent communication, and his work so far was great. I have only had parts done in black, but he is doing a custom emag for me right now. There are pleanty of awesome guns around that he has done.

I went with Bazooka Boy. I am VERY happy with his work. Very fast turn around time and great communication. :clap:

What do these guys usually charge?

I went with BazookaBoy too... I need to find some time to mount the tank, hook up the gas lines, and post the pics, but his work is top notch and had a fast turn around time with my gun. I'm definitely going to be sending him more work.

I'm guessing its a semi taboo subject and I wish it wasn't. I've sifted forums for quite some time without getting a straight answer. No one ever seems to take a pic of the parts and post "I paid x amount for this from this company".

Its been since different anno patterns were available from custom shops on cockers that you could get a firm answer. Its always a subjective "very reasonable" or "quite good" price. Very tough to gauge a good deal without having a lot of quotes or a couple of jobs done your self.

I think its because ano is a custom thing, qouted per job. No 2 jobs are the same.

I know as someone who does custom work (3d design). That if someone came to me & said I saw on XYZ.com that you charge $xxx for this I want that price I would not do the job because it means to me that the person asking for that price does not understand each job is different.

If your interested in what I was charged for ano PM me & i will tell you in a private setting.

This is the gun. Huge picture but shows the ano very well. In total 25 parts went. Most needed to be striped of old ano & all needed to be polished.

It is exactly like what was just stated. Each job is different. Number of parts, pattern, color going to and coming from, finish, etc..
My 09MM from Bazooka Boy was only $45. But I was staying with dust finish, and it was only 2 parts. More parts, more money, different patterns, more money, different finish, more money.. etc..

The anno place I deal with for work usually charges less if he can batch your job with another job that he has to run anyhow.
