Idaho, I haven't forgotten ya. I've even got a vinyl that I'm trying to print out but there's too much detail in it to print well... Or at least at the size i"m goin with.

I figure this would look sweet ... on the side of your silver bullet!
A sidewinder is aluminum and can be anodized. As a matter of fact, I've wanted to do one for a while and have even sent out quotes on the cost to anodize one, but have yet to actually have someone send me one.
miller he has been dying to do a sw.....noone has given him one yet to do.....word of warning from kenom about anodizing types....the sw is type 3 anodized...which is much more durable than what ken does which is type 2. the type 2 is still very durable, just not as durable. ken does awesome work doesn't he?
the long wait for my nam(nin anodized mini)will be worth it i am sure!!!
So not the the top cap?
And how can I find you on facebook?
Best way is to contact me on facebook.. I rarely even check here much any more.

Has anyone had a Sidewinder done? I put a couple scratches in mine trying to get the tank off. Thinking about getting it re-done.
Good luck finding something to anodize! LOL. The most common thing I can anodize that most PV users have is a Drip tip. If it's metal and colored, it's anodized aluminum. I can strip the existing anodized layer off, re-anodize it, and dye it in your color choice. As noted above, I took that puke green and turned it into a more appealing color.
I'm not too sure about the material of the Provari, but the main problem in anodizing that is not the material, but the disassembly of the Provari so that it can be immersed in the Acid bath needed for anodizing. All of the electronics would need to be removed and I donno bout you, but that unit is a bit too spendy to risk that on. I'm pretty sure it's already anodized aluminum as it appears to me that it's just a basic anodized without any dyes used at all.
Usually the best place to determine this is the threads. If an electrical path needs to be maintained through the body of the host for connection from the negative side of the battery, anodized aluminum is an insulator, so any host that is anodized aluminum needs to have the threads remain unanodized to maintain the electrical path. All you need to do is see if the metal is nice and soft (as with aluminum) or if it's hard to scratch or mar. This is an indication of some other metal. I would take a dental pick and try to scratch the inside where the battery fits to try to determine if it's aluminum or not.
Also, I can anodize other things, does not have to be a PV or PV related. I did a flashlight and it looks spectacular.
