Hello! I’m looking to get 2 aluminum yoyos anodized and couldn’t find any information about anodizers (who are currently accepting customs or in good standing). If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’m hoping to find someone with experience, good reputation and quality work. Thanks in advance! ---

I have no firsthand experience, but having seen some of her work and heard others praise her work, my first thought would be Ashley in Colorado. She does a lot of mountain bike parts, and I’m pretty sure she’s been doing some of the recent One Drop stuff. Only way I know how to reach her is through IG: [https://www.instagram.com/ashley.anodized.it/](https://www.instagram.com/ashley.anodized.it/) ---

I would recommend staying away from Gruntbull. I had serious quality control issues with them. ---

Consider selling raw and unfiltered yoyos as a blank canvas. Selling blank canvases allows everyone else to chose a colorway of their very own liking, in any application with any artist known.

I can definitely vouch for Ashley, she has been putting out awesome stuff and I just got a batch of knife handles from her. Not sure if she what her minimum piece count is currently since my last batch was all the same pattern. ---
