Anyone sending anno parts into sloth (black gloss)

[yorgie]

do you think theyd be nice + reasonable if i drove over my marker myself for them to anno it, and picked it up - i'm a poor poor student i can't even afford baked beans.... my life is terrible.... grovel grovel grovel..... ) )

You can drive over if you like, but maybe you will be better off instead of putting petrol in your car, pay for your bits. Sure it is free delivery back as well if the offer is still going.
Not sure Jamie and Matt are a registered charity, even for students.
I send loads there and I wouldn't even be that cheeky as even they still have to eat!
Club together and split the set up is the best you will do.

lol, not the plastic bit the grip frame..its metal

There are some issues with annoing a stock Ion frame. Its powdercoated not annodized so you at least need to remove the powdercoat before you send it off to get done.

Mine isnt stock its been annoed by its previours user, and its blue. I want it red

Would this be easyer or hard to do?

As long as it is anno on there it is easy enough mate. Not sure about the powder coat thing though as I am sure they dip it before annoing and it burns the old off, whether its anno or powder. I may be wrong though as I am a plasterer, not an annodiser.
If its anno then go for it.
Hope this helps

this is going to sound soo dumb and i will probably kick myself after asking..but in order to send stuff to be anno'd do i need to completey strip my gat or can i send it complete and let them strip it??? purely because i'm lazy and i don't have the gentle touch with gats.
looking towards any of the sloth guys for advice please

If you dont strip it you will be charged.
If you leave any bits or cant get bits off, as long as it isnt too much Matt or Jamie MAY do it for you.
Best thing to do if you dont want a big bill (not sure what they charge) is strip it yourself.
They will strip it though if you wish
