    Gruntbullanodizing.com is supposed to re-direct, but there is an issue somewhere with it, have not had the time to track it down, but am going to work on it hopefully today. Gruntbull.com is the website now used for viewing pages and email.

    To be honest I have enough US orders to not really need to go out of country, depends on the profit margin if I will or not, send me a quote.

        ...Dare I ask this... Will you do a simple job like dust black on a Tippmann 98c .. thats only 2 parts ?I might want a fade or something I'm not too sure, I'm just asking If you do them or not.

              Tippmans are not aluminum, and thus can not be anodized.

                    That's the problem... Cast alu cannot be adonised because there are other metals alloyed in the material for better flow properties when injecting it into a mold. Those metals are usually very reactive to acid, like lead, zinc and magnesium.

                    For that reason that material cannot be adonised, because the other metals alloyed in cast alu would mess up the anno job.

                      Cast Zinc Tippmans, there is aluminum in there, but there is way too much zinc.

                      Some Cast Aluminum can be anodized, but its results vary depending on the impurities of the base metal.

                          Have you had a chance to anno an invert mini yet? I was wondering if there were any tolerance issues with them and anno? I just picked up one for the wife, but she hates the color.

                          Thanks

                            Never done a mini, which would be easy enough, unsure if the reg/asa would have issues, I doubt it.
