annodizing an automag. . .

[scootermn]

I am starting to want something just a little different on my automag as of late. . .something classy-not horrilby cheesy and full of stickers so. . .I have decided to go with a red white and blue theme, but on the mainbody I want an american flag laid in with a laser engraver. . .I know Palmers has this but they are fairly expensive, Does anyone know another place that I could get a small American flag engraved in?

Another thing, where is a nice (at least level 2, level 3 anodizing would be better) place to get it plated? and, am I going to have any problems with tolerances if I get it re-annoed, and if the ano is stripped off (which I'm assuming it will be) will it again mess with tolerances?

So:
Place to get laser engraving with graphics done,
and a nice place for anodizing?

for those who want to know, the x-valve will be red, the body will be red, the rail will be white, and the trigger and front grip will be blue!

only person who can annodise valves is Tunaman talk to him

Are you using the old-style Stainless body or a ULE? Cause the stainless ones will dissolve in the anno. And I'm pretty sure type II is the only kind you will need. Type III, according to my information, is only able to be done in black, dark green, etc. and will make too large of a new layer on the body, messing up stuff. If it's stainless, you can powdercoat it for real cheap, but you probly won't be able to get that flag in there.

I had planned on (hopefully) trading someone my black x-valve for a red one, and it is a ULE R/T pro body with the sigh rail crap taken off. hmmm tunaman. . .I will loook at his site!

any shops that could do it, I really don't have access to anything like that, I have considered palmers, and yes-all I want is to be visible.

It iwll probably go to max anno when I go to basic!
