I am not sure if I should make a new thread but I will try it here. I am looking to get a few things anodized and was wondering what a ballpark job like that should cost and what preparation should be done by me or do they have the tools to smooth it.

Wow, Gregg--I think there is something in your childhood that is really longing for the color purple--you may want to see a shrink about that issue.


I vote that it be renamed "the Purple People Eater", and that you anno the shock caps purple too!!












on a side note. VERY NICE!!! :wink:
