Where do companies send to do splash anodizes, like who (Kitchyo?) or what companies. Also, on average how much does it cost for 30-40 yoyos or per yoyo? ---

Kitchy, unfortunately, went out of business. Gruntbull Anodizing does some high-quality ano jobs for cheap. They do splashes for about 3.50 per yoyo HALF. That means only about $7 for a yoyo. ---

Gruntbull has minimums though. You’ll need 30 halves per colorway. If you want to make 8 colors you’ll need to make 120 yoyos. Also certain effects costs a lot more than $3.50. Fades are $15 per half. ---

It sounds good to me. ---
