None I know of because they have to have an FFL.

If you want a paintball gun anodized I could come up with a place or two.

hit up Jeremy @LuckySG for a cerekote job

Ask @Reno for his supply list and you could be working it from your garage with very little commitment.

Parkerizing yes. Never anodized anything.

My bad! I thought you had mastered both.

Tried. Failed. Well, it came out ok.

It can be done at home with a Home Depot bucket and various chemicals. Mostly good sulfuric acid and lye.

Most expensive thing needed would be a battery charger from Harbor freight.

I had lead cable and misc lead already to make the make shift cooking vat.

Not hard, just takes a bit of time to do, which I might have rushed.

Come on, you know I'm younger and have hair, unlike an older aging member of Australian decent.

Ouch. Let's not insinuate Mrs. Stomper is losing her hair.

I'm a native Oryguninan.... although the hairline ain't what it used to be.

If you want to give it a go, it's not all that hard. Most home improvement stores have 100% lye products in the form of drain cleaners. Sulfuric acid is not hard to get ahold of, think auto shop. You can use Rit clothing dye or by actually Anodizing dye off Amazon. A car battery charger, something that can charge at low amps. Like 1-2 amps. Misc lead wire and some lead sheeting and you are in business.

Ill read up on it.

give anodize solutions a call, they have an FFL

I know this is an old thread, but I'l looking to anodize some lowers now too. I've used Anodize Solutions before and they were always awesome, but apparently they were just bought by Leupold and now they are being a bit weird about helping out us little guys... hopefully they will prove me wrong.
