Anyone know of a local shop that can anodize aluminum in different colors? Google search shows places in Houston, Austin, and Waco as the closest shops. Hoping someone local does it and just doesn't advertise.

Parts aren't huge. Largest part is about 18" long and smallest are about 1".

Trying to avoid shipping parts out and want to give my business to someone close.

Don't have any great answers, but have used D&R specialties in Anderson and they have offered to anodize my parts but they may send it out. Opted to just have a raw edge on the part.
All the people I buy anodized extrusions that had domestic production not drop ship me parts directly from china because they say EPA rules make it impossible to produce locally at any reasonable cost.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. Looks like I'll have to ship all the parts out of town.

Not much of an industrial base here for things like that, surprisingly. You'd think that with Armalite and all the firearms enthusiasts here, there'd be more in terms of shooting ranges and machining companies.
