    Anodized Markers for Trade (Markers added as completed)

    I recently took up the most expensive and infuriating hobby I have ever tried, anodizing. My hair turned gray before it all fell out, but at least I have something to show for it! I need to keep this hobby interesting to me and if I tried selling the markers or offered my services for hire I would lose all the joy. I was thinking of a marker swap system, kind of like the person who traded up from a paperclip and eventually to a house. I'd like to post my latest work and if someone is interested instead of buying it, they could trade it for a marker I can then anodize and list to trade. That way I keep getting stuff to work on and getting better at the craft.

    I'll post here a marker I recently anodized with some details. I'd be open to trade offers, but it has to be better than what the gun was before I anodized it, or something to make it interesting for my next job.

    Maybe it could work like this VL Triad -> Raptor -> Trracer -> phantom -> Automag 68 -> Sniper -> Cocker -> Better cocker -> X -> X -> VeeTwin Baby!!!

    I'd be open to multiple marker trades, example: ano'd trracer for two of your rough shape trracers, or two of my trracer's for your phantom. I am open and just want to have fun and hopefully spread some nice wall hangers that you can take on the field as well!

    Caution!!!!
    I am new to anodizing I have been at it for roughly a year and a half and just now am I producing stuff worth sharing. So this stuff is not professional level (Yet!!!)

    I lost out on all my repair equipment, all my o-ring kits, tools, everything, I am also busy and just don't have a good source to air. So I won't be rebuilding these, unless stated, expect to need to rebuild anything you get from me.

    I am only looking for markers or equipment I can anodize, so aluminum only. I am happy to accept projects that are really scratched up and in rough shape, but I am not setup to do any metal work, so no heavy metal work please.

    Let's have some fun!

    EDIT:

    I am not great at capturing the true finish of some of these gloss markers. Here is a video of what they look like:

    I am now open to selling these as well, make an offer!

    Up for Trade:
    Tippmann Prolite. This will for sure need a rebuild, the airlines I just put on hand tight. I reassembled it all to make sure I had all the parts and it is complete.

      Chuck E Ducky, Let's make a 2 for 1 happen, I'm PM you in a bit.

      The 2 for 1s don't really get me further on my path, but the extra marker might help in a Walzmas or charity fund raiser I hope to get back into!

      Nice work! Can you offer any anodizing for cash? I don't think I have anything you want in trade

      If a marker sits around long enough I would be willing to sell it. I don't think I am comfortable yet with taking in markers for custom ano work. I am still working out a few million kinks.

    Traded for Sniper:
    ACI Maverick. This is missing the pump handle! The barrel is a .685 CP barrel as well.

    Edit: I guess this is a Hammerick frankenstein.

      I pulled this out of my old parts/marker bin, it must be a Frankenstein.I didn't remember the Mavericks have a PF, but the grip frame said Maverick, so I rolled with it. Maybe we should call this a Hammerick?

    Traded for a Piranha GSX:
    VL Triad (I think). All is there, this one might work, I rebuild it over the winter, but have not put air on it. The black ano did not come out strong but the bolt is nice and purple!​

      Traded for Sniper:
      PMI Trraccer. Everything is here, it probably needs some lube and orings. I don't want to talk about the sight rail, that thing did not want to comply.

                It all started when I got a quote for "IDK like $650" for a cocker I wanted ano'd. I remembered KMDPB posted a video of him anodizing, and he was awesome answering my 1,000 questions, I am sure I drove him insane! Then I joined his patreon and that gave me access to an anodizers discord, and I can't stress enough how supportive that group is! Anyone interested should check out his YT channel (https://www.youtube.com/@davidmccauley7068/videos), and join the Patreon!

                I'm laughing because this is exactly where I'm at. Arc wanted $400ish for a Phantom which is absolutely wild. KMDPB has been a huge resource.

                These are awesome, nothing that’s caught my eye just yet as far as markers (the anno is great!) but I’ll subscribe and see if we can make something happen sooner than later!

                Keep it up!

                Up for trade:
                PMI Trracer. This is almost complete, but it is missing one of the pump arm screws. I'll edit my post above to add a video to try to better show the finish of these markers. Note the back of the sight rail didn't take dye as well and looks a little rubbed.

                  this acid wash looks very close to what CCI used to do.

                Up for consideration is a piranha GSX electronic marker. Functional and currently rebuilding it. 😊😊😊 2-piece barrel, not sure if original or not
