Hey everyone! I’m back open to anodizing. Looks like we’re on batch 2 of 2K20! Work pictured below.
Shoot me a message if you’re interested in getting a yo-yo (or anything aluminum) anodized and please read the list of things I would ask you to do before sending the yo-yo or thing to be anodized off to me.
Pankratz Customs Pre-Anodizing Checklist
Do not try to strip the anodize off yourself with oven cleaner, rust remover, or any other
homebrew setup. It is VERY uncontrolled and can very easily pit the surface of your
yo-yo, mess up the bearing seat and render it completely unplayable.Please DO NOT include bearings or axles as they may get mixed up with other yo-yos.
Please remove response pads prior to shipping. If | receive it with pads in, it WILL be
processed and anodized that way.Ensure yo-yo is in the exact condition you want it to be prior to anodizing, which does not cover ANY flaws, nicks, dings, whatsoever. The layer is literally 1/8th the thickness of a human hair, it doesn’t hide anything. I offer blasting and ano stripping at an additional cost, but it is well worth it if you want a decent looking anodize.
Include the return address, username, yo-yo make and model, and a confirmation of the anodize design desired written or typed CLEARLY on a sheet of paper in the package when you ship.
Include $5 for return shipping either in the package or in the final payrnent through Paypal.
Payment can be made via Paypal to pankratz44@hotmail.com. PLEASE SEND PAYMENT UNDER “FRIENDS AND FAMILY”. We can work something out if you don’t feel comfortable with that option, but | do have a pretty decent reputation that | would hope some on the forums would vouch for.
Please do not try to strip your yo-yos with oven cleaner or any home-brew type stripper, it can make a truly awful finish that can be seen HERE and I will ask you if you want an awful looking anodize by leaving it, or if you would like me to strip it professionally for $15. Thank you.
Colors I offer at this time:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Fluorescent Yellow
- Green
- Turquoise

Pricing for anodizes ranges anywhere from $30 for a clear ano all the way up to $100+ if you want to go nuts. There may be more specific designs which will cost more or less depending on their complexity. Please contact me for a quote and we can work something out. Thank you!
I’ll be taking yo-yos in batches of 8-10 at a time and then ano’ing them all at once. Updated list is below:
