Hello everyone, does anyone know of any decent anodising firms? Or perhaps do it themselves? I have a project that is close to being broken down for paint etc. and I need to get a few hose connectors, and other small parts recoated. They are currently red and blue and I want them graphite grey. Could anyone recommend somewhere?

Remember that, ideally, you want to get them stripped, and then you need to polish the surfaces, other wise they will come out a bit dull. But, that might be what you want?
