Splash anodizing a paintball gun

+++ I would like to know how to splash anodize aluminum, I am planning on doing it to an already anodized paintball gun. Rye Nienke - Windsor, Colorado, United States +++ Companies spend 10s of 1000s of dollars developing these sweet-looking coatings, and you won't find the info freely distributed here. Take my advice, if you want it to look good, spend $100 or so (it will be cheaper for you to do this, then to try and coat it yourself, and the reults will be 10 times better), and send it to a professional...its well worth it. I believe you'll probably find several coaters listed in a paintball gun magazine, or.. check the WWW, as I know they can be found there, along with pricing info. Marc Green anodizer - Boise, Idaho +++ What colors are you thinking of attaining on your gun? I have done this before but to get the right look you must dye in the right order.
