Anybody know of a place or anybody that does small scale anodizing or splash anodizing? My Google-Fu is weak and I can only find commercial companies that anodize on a larger scale.

I have a few pieces that I want to try to get anodized to see how they would look!

The company we use at work is called Finishing Pro's. They are in the Stapleton area and are pretty big but they might do your stuff. They charge somewhere around $110 per lot. You could probably fit quite a few things in a lot. It might be worth checking them out.

Thanks for the info guys. What I'm looking at doing is actually fly reels. A lot of high end reels like Abel charge an arm and a leg for anodizing. Back in the day when I was playing paintball, I remember getting my cocker anodized for right around $150. I'm hoping there was a shop locally that catered to the paintball crowd that would be able to do a smaller piece like a fly reel.

Ever thought about powder coating?

Thought about it...but it might be too thick. I'm even concerned that anodizing might get too thick, so I need to find someone that does a thin layer.
