I've got a couple things I need to get anodized.
The boss at the place off WhiteRock in Rancho Cordova seems to never be around so no chance for him getting business:mad3::flipoff2:
Any places in Sacramento area you'd recommend?
How about some place in the lower SF Bay Area?
The items are almost small enough to consider shipping.

Powder coat will out last anodizing by years!

True... except in the case where it is exposed to gas:laughing: I'm hitting a gas filler neck that I need to have not rust out the tank on me:shaking:
Forgot I can also deal with a place in the stockton area.

Did you just say rust?
The only thing you anodize is aluminum and aluminum doesn't rust.

Try places like Balls Screws and Actuators in SJ(i think thats what there called), or any machine shop. Most places have a bulk rating and if they only have a small job for a customer they might be able to throw your parts in it.

Sorry aluminum is not the only metal:

Right but it is only for non ferous metals.

Old Scout, I'm doing the gas filler neck on an FJ55(Land Cruiser).
If anodizing isn't an option, then I'll consider some other coating that is gas resistant.
The gas tanks on FJ55s are "unobtainium" and I just had mine fixed from a significant rust issue.

You can get a FBE coating done that is gas proof. Any industrial powder coating company can do it.

The company I work for has stuff done there all the time.
It's a small place off of Ashby, right off 80.
