Well I received my parts from A+ today. I'm very disappointed The color match not only isn't "extremely" close as discribed over the phone, but it isn't even the same color. Turn around time was excellant, but color matching sucks. I have emailed them about this situation. I guess I'll see what happens with that. I may have to send it elsewhere to get satisfactory results.

I can't at this time post pic's. I just called AGD direct. My fade was originally done at pk selectives in California. The guy I need to speak to is out till later. My Karta is going there no matter what. It is useless to me now. A+ might be alright for a complete anno job, but they didn't fare too well matching at least my color. I should have thought of calling AGD sooner. Well $139 down the drain. Oh well I've spent more in the bar in one night and that went down the drain to.Originally posted by magman007please, post pictures.

Here is A+ reply to me. Speedy like their service. I can not except their answer though. Their website they picture the same anno as mine and what they sent back is a copper pipe with tarnish. I don't want excuses, just results! If I have to send this thing to every anodizer in the country to get results I will. Like the duracell commercial, "It just has to work".Originally posted by A+Chris,
Trust me that is as close as it will ever get. That color is extremely hard to match. We are working with dyes not paint and it is extremely difficult to do.Comment

Well I can see this is going to cost me some coin.
PK is pricey, but turn around time sounds good, they originally did the fade and they come with super high referances. By the time I get this body anodized correctly, I could've bought a complete emag.
I'll send it out in the morning I guess. I will not be seen with a miss matched ugly gun. Just like the cannon commercial., "image is everything".
I feel my madness has reached a point simular to the final scenes of the movie,"Bridge On The River Kwai".

Ok, so I wont be useing A+, anyone know of a GOOD anodizer?
Lucky for me I just need a emag battery cover done black not a fancy color match or fade.Comment

They have my whole shocker right now. Doing a complete gun fade. I will let you know how that goes when I get it back. I have seen the complete gun work they have done and it looks great. Maybe they are just not great at matching colors? Sorry about your hard time good luck with the new company.Comment

Color-matching IS a huge deal. Heck, my E-Mag is made from all AGD parts, but there are three different types of black. The black on my ULE body, rail, and lowers is different on all three. Get pics ASAP!
*Edit* Now that I think about it, I have a bunch of markers and parts that were all purchased as dust black, but they don't all match. Some look more like gray than the others.Comment

G, my Emag seems to be all the same black except the ULE body is a little different finish (not as glossy) but the color is the same.Originally posted by deathstalkerColor-matching IS a huge deal.

Don't throw anything too complicated at them and they'll do a great job.
FBM is great for low-complexity jobs, but they can run into some minor issues with anything too out of the ordinary.
I also highly recommend disassembling your own marker before sending it out.
Not very many people seem to know what an Automag is anymore...Before: "You're playing with WHAT?"
After: "Crap! It's that guy with the pump!"Comment

I emailed PK and they wanted $60 for my battery pack, and $200 for a black to red fade on my entire Emag. I didnt think $200 was to bad for a fade on an entire Emag, but $60 for a battery pack seems a little steep, I also emailed FireBall Mountian for a price quote on just the battery pack still waiting for a responce.Comment

I used anno tech for my last e-mag project....they did a really good job....turn around was a bit slow...but...hell it was well worth the wait....cost about $145 for the entire gun for a 2 color fade...not sure if they still do paintball workComment
