Current Custom Anno Options?

[sQuidvision]

So from what i hear Blake (bazooka boy) is out of the custom anno business for now... can anyone confirm or deny this?

If that is the case who else does great custom anno work? I have a project that will be needing anno soon!

Blake is out for now and it's a shame. Screw PBN kids, seriously.

Try Mario @ FX Anodizing. He is VERY good.

Tonsixer / Tanongi on MCB. Just as good if not better than Blake. But he is in Canada ie more shipping and some hassle with customs.

Np. Not sure if it's in his album but he did an extremely nice rainbow fade on a marker. Absolutely stunning!

I am looking to get something like this done:

Im not his spokesperson but I am sure he can do that.

Let us know what he says when you hear back from him....

If I can find the link Ill send it to you/post here but there was thread on MCB (in the R7 discussion thread) with his color options. Like, if you wanted to see what red splash fade gloss anno would look like, you can just hit the link and it would carry you directly to a marker that had that set-up.

If I can find it, ill post it up here for the benefit of the AO members.

Edit: lol its not that specific as in my example but you can still get a feel for what you might want and what he does:

Still waiting to hear back from Tanongi.

What does PBN have to do with some of the shoddy anno work Blake was puking out lately? I get tired of hearing "family/life trouble" excuses too.

These issues come full circle every few years in the paintball community. A person or company develops a good reputation, takes on more work than they can possibly handle in a reasonable time period and end up crawling under a rock to hide (usually with people's hard earned money or gear). Gruntbull, Coolhand/Logic, Gforce, Mongoose/VenomousDesigns, Even PTP as of recently come to mind.

Mario @ FX is certainly doing great work now but I often wonder how long till he's in over his head as well.
