Want to know if anyone in Canada can do this. I'm looking to get a lower redone to better match the upper.

I believe that Colt originally used Sandstrom 9 to get the finish this colour.
 
Hello....?

Are you guys trying to tell me that no one on this board knows anything about anodizing aluminum receivers?

Hello.....Dlask? Are you out there?

If anyone knows anything at all, what I'm looking for is someone who can do a type 3 hard coat anodizing using Sandstrom 9 to get the original dark grey finish that Colt AR's use to have.
 
Sandstrom 9A was applied over natural anodizing. Sandstrom 9A can be done in the oven at home quite easily. I have a couple cans of 27A which is the air dry version. Also note that 9A is actually a dry film lubricant and wear off fairly easily.
 
Well, that's more like it.

I appreciate the info guys, very informative.

CanAm; This natural yellow, is it still type III anodizing?
Arwen Ace; The people who do your anodizing could prove to be very useful if I can find out more details of the exact process. Also, you wouldn't happen to have anything to do with police ordnance, would you?

I'm getting closer with every post to finishing my project.

I use these people to do all my anodizing and they do an excellent job. If you want it natural without the dye, they can do it.

Yes I do the training for police ordnance as well as the gunsmithing.
