anodising and testing bottles

[onutaka]

hey, not having been in paintball for so long (1 1/2 yrs) i've got no idea about the following things:

bottle testing. i'm about to switch over to a asecond hand air system (nitroduck) and i need to get it tested. anywhere in the north west (cheshire/manchester) that i can get it tested.

my impulse needs a new anno job. don't want to do it myself incase i f**k it up. anyone know where i can get a matte black anno on it, reasonably cheaply???

in advance, thanks

Test

Do a search on the tech forum for the annodizing places, there have been a few threads on this b4

as for bottle testing, planet do it, or they did up until 6 months or so ago, thinks its about £20-£25 plus carriage,

Alternatively you could send it to H Pac (send them an e mail for contat details, their user name is either H-Pac or airforce1) great service, takes around 1 week and cost me £32 including vat and carriage.

cheers

I will second that,

Anodising is really high quality and their prices are excellent. Will be sending off one of my markers this week.

They also will design playing tops to your design. Nice!

Planet no longer do the tests

speak to h-pac if your at the midlands masters or can drop it to them its only £23.50 and thats 1 week turn arround.

Really good guys worth every penny of the air price at the indoor.

You can take your bottle to most dive shops and get it tested.

Drop a PM to Jahlad here on the forums, he knows a good place in mancland that does the test really quickly and isn't that expensive.

i found a dive shop in mcr that got a test done for me on a .9l steel bottle, charge was £25 and it took 2 days!
nice guy in the shop too, he wanted a fill rig so he can fill markers too so i hooked him up with planets details....the shop is a ten min drive from mcr centre (actually on the road to ote!)

the number is 0161 432 6667, its called prosplash
