Anodizing to MilStd 595 colours, 34094, 33446

RFQ: We manufacture satellite communications components requiring a durable RoHS compliant finish. We have solved electrical and microwave issues with anodizing, but we would like to offer military colours, specifically MilStd 595 green 34096 and tan 33446. There is also a requirement for suppression of infra-red reflection from the finish. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, who does it, or can you advise our local plating shop on the requisite process and materials? Thank you in advance for your time, effort and consideration.

RFQ: Were you ever successful in finding a supplier of this color? We are looking for an idea of a successful dye for this color.

A. It is possible to anodize to the military colors of the FEDSTD 595 #'s inquired above. Our company has provided this process to many customers in the Defense and Commercial Industries over the years.
