Considering getting a few bits colour changed but not managed to find anywhere to do it in small batches. I did find threads from a few years back mentioning Dave the anodiser (I think) the linked site looked dead though.

Alternatively how hard is it to DIY (target colour is purple).

It'd be steve the anodiser probably, which is also Acorn Plating that Ben mentioned. A good dude, he did both my frames but also some smaller jobs like hubs, and when I broke a bit of a frame he was happy to do the replacement seatstay too (and perfectly matched it, which I gather is the hard part with anodising as the final colour depends a lot on how long you leave it in the bath for, as it's not a solid colour)

Steve the anodiser, that's the one. Thanks will give him/them a shout. Didn't twig the link to acorn. Tempted to get all the bits done in one hit so the colour is consistent.
