I want to get some aluminium bits anodised - anyone had this done before and can recommend a place to do it?

I've used Anodizing Industries 09 634-0728 28 Pukemiro St Onehunga www.anodising.co.nz (Opps wrong link before)
I had the parts preped via Sta-tec bead Blasting 09 827-5010 607 Rosebank Rd Avondale. They take real care such as wrapping the parts in acid free paper.
The bead blasting won't remove dings and gouges so the piece has to be pretty near the finish you want.
I'll get the battery case I had done up on our web site www.cncprototyping.co.nz later this week so you can see the result of an anodized natural finish the two companies provided.
Cheers

Cheers Mark. I guess you meant www.anodising.co.nz/ ? Their website isn't much chop but I'll give them a call on Monday and have a chat about what I want to do. No need for pics - if you were happy with the result that's good enough for me to contact them.

We've used many places and Anodising Industries in Te Papapa is by far and away the best... everyone up here uses them, and that's for a reason
