Plus a bunch more. Just look under "anodizing" in the book. Look for a place without the high overhead aerospace requirements and you'll get a cheaper price. Plus, a quicker turn around time as all platers are swamped right now.
If the frame is already stripped, you will be charged a minimum of about $150 for a lot charge.

PM Bullcrew. He works at an anodizing place and does some really good work. Young friend of mine got a custom urban camo ano job on his AC frame that looked pretty good.

if anyone could post pictures of their anodized frames, that would be awesome. that urban camo sounds awesome, can you describe the color scheme more?

pm bullcrew he has lots of pics, or search, thats why its there

Ummm.... Not so sure on the bullcrew thing.
A while back there was a thread in the bad sellers forum about issues with him. I think he replied that he was no longer working for the ano place or something and had some issues and aploogized profusely.
I would stick local.

I do lots of ano for work.
I usually do Prodcution Plating. They are reliable and reasonably priced.
I use Mapsco for powder though. PP ran a forklift over a pallet of parts years ago on me and I haven't forgiven them.
Hytek does good work but they charge us double what PP does.
Stay far far away from skills

skills = bad

he's right about the aerospace shops big bucks IF they will even take it. Hytek Pro-Coat Mapsco Asko = all aerospace BUT they will also be the best.

tip; hang out at a shop at lunch and ask the "dirty looking" guys(platers) if they would do it "under the table".
