Re: colored aluminum

I belive what your talking about is called anodized (sp?) aluminium. They still do it, but for your particular use I couldn't begin to tell you where to look or cost factors. I hope this in some small way helps. <br /> <br /> Dale

Re: colored aluminum

The company I work for has an anodizing facility. We do all sorts of colors. I haven't personally worked in that part of the company.<br /><br />There are a few anodizing places around where I live that do many colors, custom as well.<br /><br />Shop around, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a place that will fix you up.<br /><br />H.
