Anyone know of a place that anodizes AR lowers in DFW? Have a burnt bronze cerakoted lower and wanting to take it back to black anodizing.

and don't call me Shirley I'm finding a few online but wondering if anyone knows of anyone in DFW area. Can you anodize over Cerakote? No it will need to be media blasted down to bare aluminium.

Yes it is an SBR lower. Which is only reason I'm worrying about it. If it weren't a SBR lower I'd sell the set and buy a new upper lower. not sure if Rebel does it, maybe one of the AR builders in McKinney? Allegiant Rifleworks.com I don't think Scalpel Arms does anodizing.

Most use US Anodizing; it's not local but they are the best and regularly handle transferable machine gun lowers for anodizing services. The redo your lower is $150 through them.
Most small manufacturers send them out for anodizing

Most small manufacturers send them out for anodizing Yea I saw US Anodizing $150 seems extremely steep. New Frontier Armory out of Las Vegas does it for $25 plus shipping both ways.

One fellow on this forum believes Krylon can fix everything, from space capsules to trucks to ranch gates. Bet he take a can of Krylon and make it indestructible.

are you tired of the burny bronze? Not really tired of it, but I'm wanting to change uppers and tired of everytime I buy a new part I have to add on 2-3 week wait time and $50 per piece to get it Cerakoted to have it all match again. Would rather just go back to black anodizing. One fellow on this forum believes Krylon can fix everything, from space capsules to trucks to ranch gates. Bet he take a can of Krylon and make it indestructible. Nope, been there done that. Will never use krylon on a firearm again.
