Best source for anodizing?

Hi, I want to get some chain housings anodized dark grey so they look like magnesium, does anyone know someone that could do this? Maybe Al Reed or Harvey Weidman but extensive wait time might be an issue.

I appreciate any feedback!
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

I use Reid Metal Finishing in Santa Ana for some anodizing, cadmium plating and zinc plating. I also have sent some parts to Danco in Arcadia as they do the same type of work...

Not sure if either of them can accomodate your particular requirements though...

Scott, if that doesn't work out, let me know. There is an anodizing firm located in an industrial park not far from me. I believe they specialize in firearms parts, but I'd be willing to go ask if they do other things. (edit) Gosh, that's good thinking Scott...wish I'd thought of it when I went to pressure fed tensioners. The color difference has bugged me for decades.
