Review: Tri Color Camo by Gruntbull Anodizing

I wanted to share my anodizing experience with the paintball community.

Quite often when we are not happy with something we are make sure other know about it, I like to share my positive experiences as well.

I wanted to get my shocker anodized similar to a marker I already own. The last ano I had was done by one of our sponsors and the one I had before that is no longer in the business so I did not know where to turn. I came across a link to gruntbull anodizing and really liked what I saw on their site (especially the pricing and turn around time).

I made the inquiry and within the day I had a price quote and mailing instructions.
I also received via email very clear instructions how to send the marker, along with an order form and reference number that kept everything organized and clear.

I like to stay in contact and whenever I did Emails were answers fast and polite.
I sent out a disassembled shocker on September 16th, 4 weeks later to the day (including shipping times and weekends) the shocker was back at my door. I received A true work of art.





I must add that the sample I sent them was just a printed picture of my current team edition cyborg. They matched the colors to the T however their camo pattern is simply amazing.
They explained that they use a true to form camo pattern. And the masking they did it like nothing I’ve seen before. Some job looks great from a distance but this marker looks clean and sharp even under a magnifying glass.

Take note that the CP reg is 3 separate pieces; look at the detail work, the seamless transitions




There is not a single flaw on the entire marker, throughout any of the colors. They appear rich and solid.




Masking was done in even places unlikely to be noticed.



Here is the sample I provided them with:

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._1915_11361384

Shocker was solid black, more final pictures:




I just wanted to say Thank You to grunt bull anodizing for a job well done. Good luck with your new business and I hope others give you the shot it did.

The first two pics look somewhat photoshoped; however that ano is absolutely beautiful. Mad props to both you for owning the gun and Gruntbull for anodizing it.

The first two pictures are straight up jpeg right off of my nikon ... nothing is touched or modified

Something about taking the pictures in real sunlight ( viewing the marker too) Makes the red look really nice

The review went up so late because I wanted to take the closeups outside as well but weve had bad weather so I gave up on waiting

Thanks to everyone for all of the kind feedback
