[R-390] Black Anodizing?

[Barry]

Greg,

Thanks.  I know there is at least one place here that does anodizing, but
they have a very hefty minimum charge (something like $50 or more).  This is
mainly for cosmetic purposes and if I can't find a very reasonable solution,
I'll probably just leave them bare.  I can get them alodined and I may see
what they'll charge for this very small lot if I can't find inexpensive
anodizing.  I had the other parts of a couple of frames alodined there and
they look great.  I'd rather have them protected, but I already have quite a
bit "invested" in these things so if it comes to it, they'll be left bare.

Thanks all,

Barry - N4BUQ
