Current Anodizer(s)?

Reviving this a bit -

Has anyone ever used Pooty Paintball? ( https://pootypaintball.com/ ) I see his work on IG pretty frequently and it seems good to me. Based on a page on PbN, he's been around just as long as most of the other guys too. I'm not a fan of the weird bright color palettes he normally uses, but I saw the one below in his Facebook history, and I think I'm in love with it for having the same thing done to my CS2. Been looking for a really good camo pattern, and compared to the more typical sponge-type patterns I see from other places, this one looks way better to me, almost like Multicam, which is kind of what I'm after.

The other option I've considered is Cerakote from Barefoot based on shooter311 's recommendation. Cerakote can do an almost true Multicam pattern, but the price listed for that on their website seemed to be just as expensive as ano.

I know nothing about Pooty, but I've seen some of his patterns and they're pretty crazy!

[ketzer7]

I think I’m willing to give him a try and see how it comes out.

I have been thinking of giving pooty a try too

I have seen first hand work from Arnold's metal finishing. It's top shelf quality.

They also have employees with a pedigree from PK Select. So there is some classic Mojo in their work.

Does anyone on MCB do anno for members?

We have a few guys experimenting with Ano work. I don’t think anyone is taking work just doing stuff for themselves. Check out the Anodizing threads. Creeper has been doing some wild stuff with plating in the Sheridan section.

[automeister]

Do you have a link to his plating stuff?

Thank you!

I'm looking to just get a cocker body done in a solid polished color. So far, Ruckus stands out based on what I was quoted plus the other work I've seen of his.

[iamthelazerviking]

Update: sent a body (cocker body + back block + vert ASA) to Armored, will update once I get it back but I know he does great work. Ruckus stopped replying ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Bumping this as I had been waiting for Blizzard to do his annual black friday sale... which didnt happen. Seems like he just dropped off the planet in September, hope everything is ok. Had previously had pretty good experiences with him, but the last twister project I had from him did not turn out how I hoped. I was also planning to have him match the phantom ano he did for me... but no dice.

Arc did my Vee Twin, which turned out nice.

I've talked to Caustic a few times about projects, he always seems down to try stuff but I've never had the cash to pull the trigger. One day If I can ever afford his damascus ano... :O

Heard there was some beef with FX anodizing, and it looks like he is on a break.

Any other info on other anodizers in the last year?

My last few experiences with Bilzz have been not great. Poor depth, some small damage, colors not matching between parts (same supplier/alloy), some parts not done at all/completely wrong color, etc.
