Looks like these guys in CPT can do it http://www.hydro-graphics.co.za/
Just ask if they can do the No Temp Process first as I do not know what heat the plastic 510 innards are able to withstand.

Thanks I'll give them a call and report back. Think Anna deserves a color change

Think she will have to be stripped first. Ask @Cape vaping supplies where he did his Reo. Think it might have been the peeps @kevkev linked above.
If I remember properly @Cape vaping supplies use paint stripper to strip his. Will check with him wrt how to do it and find out of the guys @kevkev gave a link to will strip it themselves

I want a blood red body with a brushed copper finish door. Think it will be a good pair but the door color may vary depending on what they can do for me

From what I remember @johan posting about anodizing - it sort of becomes part of the metal. So, I have an idea it might not be possible, but am not sure.
Paint stripper won't work on Anodized and powder coated surfaces.
Read the comments here for ideas

No, the only way to remove anodizing is with NaOH // Sodium Hydroxide (aka caustic soda) - note: you have to wear protection gloves, toxic fumes. Best done outside and most important: you will loose a couple of microns of the allumina.
This looks like it might just work. Will have to check if it is available locally though..
Definitely not going this route lol.. I will rather leave it as is. It's just that it had a couple of harsh falls, wanted to redo it to make it pretty again..
The beauty of anodize is that you can spray paint without any fancy undercoat or you can even mirror polish with a buff - just a suggestion.
Most industrial cleaners contain NaOH.
Most of the damage is on the corners, and I can see and feel the Aluminium. Actually small holes, like missing pieces of aluminium lol. I'm really sad I let it fall, 2 or 3 times on tar! So now I'm trying to restore it a bit.. However, I will have to do some sanding work to smooth out the dings.
fill with 2-part black epoxy, then sand and polish.
If that was most other mods, it would not have been working anymore.
I try to handle my Reo's with kid gloves, but the mini dropped of the sink one day, about a month after acquiring her, and hit the hard tile floor..landing just on the bottom edge where the door slides in. Because the metal is so soft it created a flat spot, and deformed the corner ever so slightly inwards. There was no scratch or anything, but I couldn't slide the door back in, as a result. (The door wasn't installed at the time.)
Took all my inconsiderable skills with a needle file to fix that up. And since then I am super careful when putting it down on any surface.

Should be fine at that temp. Your best bet is to talk to Robert at reosmods though.
Price wise?
price completely slipped my mind when he mention 150 degrees baking temp lol
Silicone inside bottom part of 510 connector, and as @Alex said you're safe as silicone doesn't deform between -55C to +300C.
perfect that sets my mind at ease. i will arrange for them to give me a quote now
