    Need soor anodized plates

    I just got a large order for custom anodized plates - 4.25x6.25 1/8" thick. Black anodized. Anyone have a good source for anodized plates?

    You might also try http://www.chewbarka.com

    You should contact Fred at the number on the web site, he's very helpful and has been known to do custom runs.

    You might look locally for a sheet metal distributor then an anodizer.

    Shane, find a good machine shop in your area.
    Look for one with a "wire edm".
