Who refinishes AR stuff?

OPTIONS:
Dlask did a HARD anodize on my two "previously painted with Chinese house paint??" CQ = AR 15 lower receivers. Joe does VERY nice work... they now almost perfectly match my OLY uppers, with a nice deep black color.
Although, I am seriously tempted to have ED/the SKULLMAN do a Urban Grey Camo paint job on one of these. Once I quit foolin around and finalise on the exact configuration, this is probably how I'll end up.
The paint on finishes are a very viable option these days, and possibly within the do-it-yourselfer's ability. I once used some special "Gun Cote" bake on paint on an old AR 10 that had fallen into the milling machine and ended up as a Flat Top. This worked out well....except my girlfriend wondered why I was "cookin up my machine gun?".

I have also had success with Electroless nickle on an alloy Colt LT WT Commander frame that had a cracked shroud. After welding and grinding and bead blasting, then the Nickle on top, it looked great .. and tightened up the fit as well.
Think about it ... you can get Anodizing and paints in almost ANY color ...how about a PIMPED out SHINY NICKLE and HOT PINK AR??
