Anyone know of a Aluminum Anodizer in Houston??

I have a few small (3x7") aluminum plates that I'll need anodizing pretty soon and I have not looked for a place that can do anodizing dips for small stuff...

Anyone here have an idea or a contact... just thought I'd try...

I can only say you should call some of the custom car shops to ask for references. There might be a chrome dipper that is set up for aluminum in town.

Abel, my father-in-law owns and operates this shop. I know he does machining and chrome plating. Not sure about aluminum and/or small jobs--mostly oil field stuff. Give him a ring or e-mail (contact info on the site).

Last time I talked to em they'll do small parts in the same batch as bigger orders but you might have to wait til a run of the color you want is done.

Instead of or in addition to the custom car shops, for small amounts of work, look for custome MOTORCYCLE shops. These guys will do things as small as pegs, frame sliders, swing arms, and multitudes of other parts and pieces.
