    Best anodizing service to match CCI's acidwash

    I've been searching for the parts to finish off my build for some time now, after recently backing off buying another phantom for a few parts after finding it it worse condition than I'd hoped, im ready to consider getting the parts raw from cci and having them anodized to match.

    With that being said, does anyone have a suggestion for a anodizer who can pull off a similar enough acid wash with a color match, or even a line on the old service Mike used? It's a green/silver acid wash it that matters for finding someone to match it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Mike used Heritage in Oklahoma City.

    They closed up shop years ago.

      Caustic is the GOAT for ano matching but those acid washes are pretty hard to match

      Mario @ FX loves those kind of crazy acid washes and stuff, he'd be my first pick if you can live with something similar that might not be a perfect match.

        I second this. I know multi color can be difficult than a single color. But even single color can be different depending on dye, how long it stays in bath and whatever else. I sent Mario the purple micromag body to match all the other parts. He did spot on, better than I expected.

      Arnold's Metal Finishing can do some unbelievable match work. They are who Bob Long used and who Field One currently uses.

        Only way to get it all to match is to do the entire thing all one batch with a CCI style acid wash. Matching parts piece by piece it’s always gunna look off. It’s hard finding CCI parts that match let alone a different anodizer to match it.

        FX has done some cool acid washes I would check them out.
