If you have the parts stripped of old finish, polished, and ready to go there are several commercial anodizing companies in K.C. John Hackley mentioned them to me when he was still alive. He lived in Blue Springs. I seem to remember a guy who did that down around Edwards,MO. Look up commercial plating/anodizing. If you don't find one in MO. I will dig up the place I have used in Portland, OR several times. Your parts need to be aluminum to be anodized.

Years ago I worked with/for a smith that plated firearms and I blued them. He would also anodize the aluminum parts. Pretty easy to do.

This is pretty much what we did.

I paint them with Brownells Alumahide which works well. It will cost you more to have parts anodized than to buy new ones, probably.

The anodizing shop I use here has a lot charge of about $95 for aluminum. There are easier anodizing methods for titanium, for what it's worth.

Yeah, that's what I meant; there is a plating shop here and they will plate most anything for a starting fee of $100. For which you can buy a lot of Ruger ejector housings.
