Recommended Sources for Aluminum Extrusion, Anodizing?

Recommended Sources for Aluminum Extrusion, Anodizing?

(OP)
I've got a small part that's cut from an extrusion and needs anodizing that I need to source.  This is primarily a cosmetic piece, so the anodizing quality is more important than the strength of the part.  Preferably I could obtain a chamfer on the edges of the part during the cut-off process (round extrusion chucked into lathe, cut to length).

Can anyone recommend a good source for this sort of operation?  I figured I'd check here first for a solid contact rather than try anyone I could find on the Internet.

Thanks!

RE: Recommended Sources for Aluminum Extrusion, Anodizing?

There are two excellent anodizers that I can recommend: International Hardcoat (IHC) in Detroit and Pioneer Metal Finishing, which has locations in MI and WI.  Use the following links for more information:
