Anyone know of someone who can replicate the finish on a pre 64 model 70 aluminium floorplate?

Thanks

Same question. I have an aluminum magazine that requires anodizing. How, where, all help appreciated.

I paint them with any of the popular gun paint; Duracoat, Cerakote, etc. Looks better than original.

I don't know what the floorplate finish should look like, but I use Aluminart in Ontario for anodizing electronic parts.

When I was doing a bluing service it was acid dye electrodes and a power supply. Any color you wanted. Started with regular dye then found anodizing dye. Both worked.

Yup, this is how you anodize aluminum. I'm sure there are youtube video's on how to do it. Just be aware this isn't type 3 hard anodizing that is commonly used on firearms. It is a soft anodizing.

Most bottom metal is not hard coat anodized; it is just colored. Look at all the scratches on them.

Just worried about color not a 50 year life
