I use Aerosafe out of Fort Erie… there are not that many people who can do this properly. [http://aerosafe.ca/](http://aerosafe.ca/) you are looking at minimum charges in the hundreds… it’s not like powder coating at all. ---

What have they anodized for you? If you do not mind me asking how much did it cost? I am looking to have my intercooler core done unless you can think of another way to make it black without hurting its cooling ability at all. ---

all the aluminum components that i produce are anodized there… spin knobs, rod end reducers, TC rod components etc. etc. i have a huge batch of gear going in in the next couple weeks, but it wont be black. minimum is over $200 if you dont know them. ---

Anodizing doesn’t quite come out right on cast aluminum pieces, unless it’s machined billet, it’ll look all weird. I would recommend a place to you, but it’s NADCAP certified, so they’ll prolly charge even more than that Aerosafe one. ---

Bing, do you ever get anything done on black and how often?? If so, would i be able to send it with your stuff and we could work out a deal. Also, are there any other ways to make an intercooler black that wont hurt it’s performance?? ---

i do black on occassion but there is no way for me to get your IC there because i never see the stuff. It gets machined and goes right to Aerosafe after it comes out of the CNC mill… i dont touch it until its anodized. ---
