I have other guns ie mags I could whomp you with Money is limited with car payment and other bills this week. Not much work for the last two weeks doesn't help neither.

the worst part is, a plus is capable of doing awesome anno. All of the agd pride guns were done by aplus, and they were practically works of art.... this is rediculous

This is exactly why i reccomend Absolute Finish. They have amazing prices, awesome communication, and the best anno jobs ive seen.

Reading about how badly it sounds like youremag came out is bad enough but after seeing the pics of that cocker im shocked at how badly they anno. The anno was terrible. The color wasnt even close (i dont even see how they could be that far off) and there is pretty much no fade at all.

Yeah, Absolute is kinda the new kid on the block. They are working hard to build a name for themselves based on good service and good results. Admittedly I have no direct experience with them, but pictures of their single color work is decent. The problem is they don't appear to have a lot of experience for more complicated work like fades and patterns.

And thats the real problem with anodizers; complicated jobs require experience. Anybody can do a decent job with one color, so the real choice is customer service, speed and price. But if you want a nice fade, camo, pattern, whatever then you are probably better off spending the loot with an established, expereienced anodizer.

Good luck.

These people seem to know what they are doing, a little pricy, but they hav anno tattoos, laser engraving everything you could want

*thank A-tach for giving me that link a while back* he said he has great service from then

After the horror of the job A+ turned out looking at all these other places mentioned is risky for me. I wasn't taking a chance this time. PK has been in business for 30 years now. Through the years they have revolutionized the industry with cutting edge anodizing. They did it first and they originally did my anno. They're my best hope for perfection.

well god luck, if team dynasty trusts their markers to fb,. I think I can too

You are VERY mistaken. You obviously havnt seent hat much of their work. They do amazing fades, camo, tattoos, and a really cool acid wash like anno called backdraft and blaze. You should really check out ther stuuf on pbn. He posts his work up all the time. It is easily just as good as anything else ive seen done by any other company. They are now also working on doing teflon coating. Not to mention they have REALLY good prices.

As they say, cheaper usually ends up costing more anyway.

I have seen all their stuff posted on PBN, and personally I'm not sold yet. Most of his work is single color on individual pieces. Sure you can get two or three color jobs as long as the individual pieces are one color each. I've seen his urban camo and I think others have done it better. I've seen his backdraft which is nice, but is a variant of acid wash, which does not require the precision of a fade, since the result is supposed to be random. I'm not flaming, its just my opinion that others have done it better. I'm sure Randy will also get better as he gets more jobs under his belt too and I wish him the best of luck.

I'm not on the Dynasty payroll so I'm not blindly letting what and where they do things influence my decisions.
