Update on the 7075 Grey Anodizing SituationEven after the head of the factory sent people to the anodizing supplier to discuss the grey issue, my rep informed me that they more or less gave them an answer along the lines of "it's not our problem". They now are not willing to do grey at all. Even though it's something far out of my reach and nothing I do will change this, it endlessly frustrates me that they are not willing to do something that was done before due to sheer incompetence.
Fortunately, almost everyone has been very helpful and are willing to switch to a black or grey. Once I receive all the responses (waiting on two people), the remaining ones are going to anodizing. From there, it's QC, assembly and shipping.
Here a pics that I've received from my rep. Knowing that they're making progress relieves some stress from all of this.
