New mag anno....

[bunny5]

PK's prices went up and the quality went down......not even close to what they used to be. And yes the main person that handled the actual anno process has left a while ago.

I will agree that the prices are high, after my nightmare with Gruntbull when they butchered my old Euro Xmag TWICE, I decided that the price was justifiable.

I did attempt to have PK create a Jurassic Goo SFL Emag back in 6/1/2009, but to my dismay the person who created the process left PK Selective. (I can't remember the name off the top of my head) Peter said they didn't have the set-up needed to create reverse splash fades.

I use the same company as Mongoose does. They have done AGD work in the past directly for AGD.

PTP uses the same company as well.

Time is something you cant really hold an anodizer to if you are getting a good rate per piece.

Longer you wait,.. the better the time frame they have to prep the work,.. the better the finish.

After Big E and myself tried polishing up one of my bodies.....i can understand why they take some time.....and what a mess. but in the end it is well worth the wait.

Yup...Peter shot down many of my ideas.....told me it couldn't be done "I hate hearing that"

So i moved on and cant be happier with the products im getting back....Not to mention they were able to create exactly what i was looking for.......A complete dust black gun with a blood red splatter in GLOSS.
We are gonna be selling complete markers in this custom finish "Shameless plug"

Here's a pic of my Brother in law's "Dust Black ..gloss orange splatter....The pic does not do the finish any justice

Well i will tell you what i want and i was told it was not possible by PK selective.

Dark high gloss purple with a chrome splash or better yet a chrome lightning bolt pattern.

On this marker







Who do you use Mongoose? Or am i missing it in this thread.

Any recommendations would be great.

[Soonersdds]

I second the recommendations, need to have some work done myself

"Chrome" is your problem. Chroming is a different process than ano. Doing both on the same part would be an impressive trick.

He has a point.

In order to chrome a piece,... you have to nickle plate it first. Im not sure if the masking will handle that process.

It could be polished and clear anodized. Not quite the same as chrome but similar look.

[hill160881]

The guy from PK said they would have to polish and clear ano it, then do the purple. He said he could not guarantee the results from piece to piece(Especially the valve).

The other option is a dust ultra white with dust black accents.
He said he could make me very happy with this option and it would be pretty cheep(compared to any glossier finish)


What about dark purple with silver splash? is this possible?
