Default 73" Mystic... paint ideas and anodizing question

I'd like to get two large billet aluminum grilles anodized black (they are currently polished) along with the bolts that secure them to the boat. Does anyone do anodizing and what are their prices? Any feedback from consumers?

I plan on doing an all black Air Force themed RCMK S-520 powered 73"Mystic catamaran and need some anodizing done. I will have "United States AirForce"down the port and starboard side of the cat and the cockpit modeled after a stealth B-2 .

I did another boat like this (An A/C Rebel) and really liked it. This picture was taken before the decals were applied.


Any thoughts on this? I don't care to have a scale paint job like the real boats. This will be my shelf queen.

Look into do-it-yourself anodizing. It's fairly easy to do. You Tube should have plenty of videos on how it's done.
