Where to get AR "bling"?

[mustang979]

As much as I love my AR, I'm a little bored with it, and want to bling it out a little and maybe put on some red anodized parts to make the look a little more "je ne sais quoi". Maybe a red ambi 60 degree safety, red mag and bolt release. Just a couple accent pieces to give it a little more visual appeal.

I haven't had any luck in finding vendors with much in stock, it's typically 1 or 2 parts at one vendor, from one manufacturer, and I'd like to try to stay with one manufacturer so there isn't as much variance in the color. Would anyone be able to recommend a vendor or manufacturer?

sadly I'm at work, so I can't post pics of the AR to give people an idea of what I'm working with, I can try to get one when I get home if anyone is interested.

Probably easiest to take off the parts and get them all cerokated, TiN or whatever the put them back on

I'd recommend red deer shooting center or tier one armory.

Honestly, I've struggled with cerakoating. I'm not sure how much it'll affect clearances, and some of the parts are too small and cheap to justify the cost of paying someone to strip them and repaint them.

I'd recommend red deer shooting center or tier one armory.

I can't say I've ever checked out tier one, I'll have to check out their website tonite, as for RDSC, they seem to be awesome, I got my upper and stock from them!

I've purchased plenty of things from them in the past, but I didn't think they had a huge selection this go around their website is blocked from work, I'll have to check it out again when I get home.

Tier one has a nearly non-existent web presence, best to call them.

Two of those parts are steel, one is aluminum. You can't anodize steel, and you can't colour phosphating. you have no option but some kind of paint-like coating. And yes, it will affect tolerances.

Check out Odin Works stuff, they seem to have a decent supply of colored accent parts. Black Leaf out of Edmonton usually has a good supply of their parts as well.
