Wheres the cheapest place to go for anodize

[magsRus]

I want to andoize my timmy white or the closest they can go to white. But I dont want powder coat so where would you guys recommend me going?

Fantasy land.

There is no white anno.

But,Sexy Turtle I believe is the cheapest around.I have no idea of their quality so don't take this as an endorsement.:)

I think the closest you can get to white is dust silver. Personally, I would rather pay the extra and go with a realiable annodizing business. It doesn't make sense to send a marker that costs hundreds of dollars and have it get messed up because you decided to go cheap on the anno.

clear dust seems as close to white as possible. sexy turtle anodizing has very good prices, but i am not so sure on how fast they get your stuff back to you. also, i am not sure if they had started taking orders again.

I agree with what louie said, better to spend alittle more than having it screwed up.

well, at sexy turtle, they have a thing where if they screw up the anodizing, or whatever part that you sent them, then they will either do the ano over, or pay u for the part, or so i have heard.

white anno




MAX ano is kind of expensive, but they adverstise white ano jobs.

ITS NOT WHITE ANO. there is no such thing. there is silver dust, and clear dust, and that is as close to actual white as there is. i dont know why, i just know that there exists no white ano.

I am wondering why there would not be such a thing as White anno? Isn't anno just a process opening up the "pores" of the metal and then letting the "dye" seep in and set? They do make white dye. Just curious

[barberjohn]

dont have a clue why, i have just never heard of white ano, and i have even been told that white ano is not done. i guess people feel like if you want white ano, then clear dust is the closest you are going to get, and believe me, its extremely close. just look at the storm intimidators, they are clear dust, and they look like white ano, especially in real life. and, jw, where have you heard of white dye?

[StickFigurSicide]

They dont make white printing ink either. I wonder if its because the color white physically does not exist and its just a reflection of light or some science/technical thing like that.

Mabey you could bleach it? Worked pretty good when Jacko wanted something white

The top Timmy is Powder coated.

I think I read along time ago that it has something to do with the Anno process that will tint white dye to a light silver or something like that making it pointless,either way there is no white anno dye available.

Dusted/Satin/bead blasted raw silver is as close as it gets to white.

Yeah, i saw that, too... They do say that they can do most any color and I figured that since the anno pics were described as white and black ano... I'm like you guys, tho... I dont know anything about ano except I cant do it not trying to argue
