Powder coating

[tomlee337]

Does anyone know of a place in OC that will powder coat my lower?

Powder coating is not a particularly good finish for firearms due to the thickness of the coating. Dimensional changes will be a PIA if it gets in the wrong places.

So what do you suggest?

Perhaps anodizing? You could look into that.

I'll look into that, but is the anywhere in OC that does it?

Im exploring a need for this as well with a 80% bare AR15 im building. I was thinking Anodizing or looking into that camo dip thing that ive seen done. (unless its the same thing).

I would love the look of a blue digital camo.

I am a couple hours from you but, would make the drive for a place that does great work...

I searched on Yelp and found that Custom Metal Finishing does it. But they're located in Gardena. Not sure if u would want to make a trip over there to check it out.

Depends on the alloy. MIL-A-8625 Type III at 1 mil thick might be my first choice. I'm not an expert but a quick trip to the anodizer would give you some ideas.

Cerakote. It's not going to be as tough as hard anodize, but it's great as far as spray-on finishes go.
It's challenging finding a legit anodizier that will do lowers.
