    Default HardCoat Anodizing for 6061-T6 (SEPA preferred)

    I'm not sure if this is exactly a "gunsmith" question per-se, but a finishing one at least.

    I've got some one-off stuff that I'd like to have hardcoat anodized (black) and sealed.

    Can anybody recommend a good small-batch finishing house a reasonable distance from SEPA? (Some non-gun items will be quite large making shipping of the finished parts impractical.)

    Thanks.

    As for being good, I can only say they both have had to provide certs for government jobs.
    I have delivered and picked up (for my dad) jobs that have had less than 30 pieces. I have no clue what their pricing is like.
    The 2A does not GIVE us the right. It tells the gov they can not INFRINGE our right.

    Thomas Register is a good place to look for industrial services and supplies.

    Here is what came up in my search for hard coat anodize in eastern PA. Sometimes not all that come up are actually good fits, but it should be a start for some phone numbers to call and speack with some people who can give you an idea on their capabilities, minimums and pricing.
