Those links were simply for information on the TYPE III process and definately not a recommendation for who to send them to.

Check out Pioneer
www.pioneermetal.com/

As well as looking in the nearest metropolitan areas yellow pages under "metal finishing"

PLUS Google "metal finishing" "anodizing" etc and make some calls....

F-Bomb Racing/Better Boards would be a top notch choice if you go the Pow Coat route.

MH the only downfall to hard coat and regular anno is it will sun fade over time. Hard coat is better that the Type 2 but will still do it if its stored outside. It will take along time with just riding exposure to the sun
Just some food for thought.
Yes i am a machinist and we do alot of annodizing of our parts.

Just for reference, I did my rails in hardcoat ano type III, class 2 in black for $75 plus a couple little parts I threw into the batch. They are holding up strong and are not even showing a mark from the ice scratchers.

I am with MH, that it would be awesome to have a hard anodized tunnel!

BTW, I hear the Fastrax is working on some carbon fiber tunnels sides which might be a cool option and improve snow shedding.
