Well I guess the question is simple, who does custom ano now. Anyone around here take up doing basic ano if so could you shoot me a pm, just someone who could do two small pieces in solid colors for a little project of mine (one is ~1"x1.2" the other is ~2"x2.25" both cut out of 1/16" aluminum) ---

You might try to call around locally. Google turned up more than a dozen anodizers in your area. ---

The vast majority if not all are probably industrial anodizers. ---

I work with aluminum parts and use one locally to color some of the parts I need colored. Not difficult at all. Just call around. I drop off the part and pick it up. Easy. ---

But just solid colours, right? Most of our local ones here only offer black or clear, so there’s that. I couldn’t speak to the OP’s city, though. ---

I’m in Seattle so most of the anodizers around me are industrial and would probably charge me through the roof because I am only doing 2 small pieces. I found appleton, their pricing isn’t bad and if I can’t find anyone else i’ll probably go with them. Honestly I was hoping i’d find a yoyoer who picked it up so I could try to trade a yoyo or two for the ano 😛 I know there used to be someone on here I think their username was england and some numbers but it’s been a while since I remember seeing him. ---

There’s a guy on Facebook who picked it up, but who can say how good it is? There’s England1414, who did a Summit for me, but I don’t know if he’s taking orders right now. ---

Yea England says he’s done for now cause he’s at college but still might do things here or there so I sent him a pm. Any chance you could pm me the name of the guy on facebook? ---

Monkeyfinger does it, but it might only be on their yoyos that you can do the custom anodizing. ---
