Anodizing Info

 

We do nothing involving Paint. Anodizing is not paint. 

This is a information section to have your parts anodized. We will send you a invoice to pay once we go over your needs. Please read the below.

 

How it works.

You must have non painted Aluminum Parts. They can be anodized or raw. We don't work with parts that have any form of paint on them. If you don't know what you have, you can contact the manufacture. 

You must be able to take your parts apart. Each part is racked alone. Nothing can be in your parts or attached to them. Anything non aluminum will melt.

The below is our Facebook and Instagram info. It is very important that you look at our past anno work and make sure what we do is something you like. Avoid all platting pictures. We no longer do 24k gold, chrome and Aurora platting. Only anodizing

If you like our work then email or DM us on Facebook or Instagram. Or email is chris@pootyanodizingandcustoms.com . We do have a color chart we can send you.

 

Return shipping - USA return shipping is free. We use USPS or UPS based on the size. Non insured. If you need faster return shipping or need your box insured Incase of carrier damage or loss we can get you a cost for that. If you are not in the USA we will get you a return shipping quote once your parts are done and boxed up.

 

We will need

• One picture of all your parts

• Colors you want your parts. A picture and any changes to its coloring would be best. If its single color Anno then just list those colors you need.

• If you have a newer paintball gun, we can take it apart for $80. We do not take apart any airsoft stuff or really old paintball guns

 

• If you’re in the USA. If not then note your country 
  

 

That's really it. Expect some back and forth to go over things. If your request is pretty direct or basic we will get you a quote in one email / DM. In the end we will get you a total. If that works we can make an item on this site, send you our paypal info or email you paypal invoice to pay.

 

Pack up your parts and send it in

We recommend wrapped up your parts in bubble wrap with no tape.. Usps or UPS are good options. But please send your stuff in a box packed well. Yes we have seen damage from bad packing...

 

If we have questions during this process we will email you.

You will get a picture of your parts and tracking emailed to you the day it is done. Turn around is normally 1-2 weeks or less. But it’s always best to ask this when you are ready to send in your parts.

We also will post up your pictures/video on IG and facebook if your parts are not single color. 

 

In the end always expect to get your own custom creation. Never a copy of something we have done in the past. All our work is done by hand.

 

 

Frequently asked anno questions below

Anno costs - Most paintball guns will be around $380 for custom anno. Extra parts are around $20 per part. Airsoft parts pricing will be based off the colors and the amount / size of your parts. Each job has its own custom cost.

Do you do platting? - Gold platting, Nickel, Chrome and Aurora we have stopped.  We will update the site if this changes.

How do I keep my place in line?

Your payment date is how we keep your gun in the line. If you need to pay when it’s done just let us know. But our turn around is fast.

 

-I really don't know what I want to do to my gun / parts. Do you guys have sample pictures I can see.

Yes, our Facebook page has almost every single Anno job we have ever done. Even your gun will be posted on our Facebook page once it's done. This is a a good place to go and see what we have done and get color ideas. We do have a Instagram account but it didn't start as early as Facebook. So Facebook will have far more pictures.

 

- Can you anno all parts

No, We can not anodize steel, chrome, titanium or plastic parts. Only Aluminum parts can be anodized that are raw or anodized now.

 

- Can I just send you guys a parts / gun and you make a custom that you think would look good?

Sure, but Anno is a thing that you should like. But if you really don't care and want something wild we can work our magic. Giving us creative freedom with some color input from you can be a good thing. Some of our best work is when we can do what we think will turn look best and we do spend extra time on these. 

 

- I have a dust finish gun, can you make it gloss

In some cases we can polish your parts gloss. We would need pictures of what you have to get you a cost for this.

 

- Can you turn my gloss gun to dust?

Yes, we can glass blast your gun to make it dust. Pricing is based on the amount of parts you need done. We use a very fine glass bead. So your finish will look in most cases better then the factory dust finish.

 

-Will my parts / gun loose metal from the Anno process.

Our Anno process we watch very closely. We watch very closely the Anno strip times and other processes that might make your gun loose metal. If you are re-anodizing parts that already have anodizing on them, you will loose a very small bit of size. If you have raw parts you can gain a little size or it will be the same after anno.

 

- Do we offer color matching

No. Without knowing the brand of dye, Anno times, Anno temps and other processes the Anno shop that originally colored your parts used, we will not be able to get the same color.

 

- Do you copy other guns

No, but you can give us the colors you want and we can make your own custom gun. We can use a picture for reference. But always expect our version of it.

 

- Turn around time

2 weeks or less is typical. It could be more or less. Best to ask when your ready to send your gun in and we will let you know then.

 

- What you would send in

Just the aluminum parts. No grips, screws, plastics, stickers. Anything. Just the parts that need color. Or we can take your gun (paintball) apart for a cost. Email us your info.

 

- Can I keep my same color and you add new colors on top?

No, all Anno must be removed to add new color.

 

- Is Anodizing paint

No, it's a process that opens up the pores of the metal and we add color to those pores. Then close the pores and you have permanent color that won't come out.

 

- Poocasso, can you match another poocasso you have done

No, we can use the same colors from that gun you like, but never expect a poocasso to come out like another poocasso. It can be lighter or darker. Think of it as art work. You want your own piece or art anyways. No 2 poocasso guns will ever look the same

 

- I am worried that the poocasso anno I want won't look like the gun I see and like on your Facebook

Then please don't go for the poocasso base. Splash, sponge, fades and the single colors we can time and get the correct color for you. Poocasso is all done by hand and the we never guaranty it will look like something we have done in the past

 

- Can I buy a new already custom anodized gun?

Yes, let us know what paintball gun your looking for and we can let you know if we can get it and your total. This is a great option that will save you time and money. We discount our anno costs since we make a little on the gun sale. Airsoft - We only sell the Monk Oracle and the Wolverine line of builds. Since these are full aluminum and we know they take color great.

 

-  I see little silver marks on the inside of some of my parts that have anodized.

Yes, every part must be racked and connected to a power supply. So each part will have a contact point and that contact point will not have any color. It will be anodized, just won't have color. It’s very small

- I want a white color

This is a fake color that gun manufacturers have made up.

There is no such thing as white Anno. White Anno is a confusing term that is used for silver or clear Anno. What white- silver and clear really is, is no color. It's simply the silver metal that has been sealed and no color/dye has been added.
