If anyone has experience on how to get mostly perfect, matte 7075 hard anodized parts, I'm all ears!
A small custom compound bow maker here years ago had the same issues. High end expensive 7075 machined risers with streaky finishes. He said that was the biggest issue that kept him up at night. Sounds like it’s still an issue. Good luck and hopefully you’ll figure it out :)

Yeah - the thought of sending all of those dollars in material and labor to the anodizer and getting back unusable junk isn't a great feeling!

I've had a lot of anodize done over the years - nothing that mattered too much cosmetically though. It's a different game.
 
Moving on to a new anodizer. I was probably too patient with the first one because they have done good work for a friend of mine.

If they can't show more interest in getting this right it's time to move on!

Bead blast automation was mostly successful.

Waiting for samples - story of my summer. Initial conversation with the new place has me optimistic though.
 
I really need some 34mm 1.25 high rings,,,hows the progress my friend.
I had to pause and do some real work to pay for this adventure!

I do have some good parts from the anodizer. It's your lucky day because one of the samples is a 34mm x 1.25.

Let me get them laser marked. I'll post a pic here and then contact you - hopefully later today.
