Editing Arc Anodizing

'''Arc Anodizing''', also styled '''ARC Anodizing''', is an American custom anodising business based in Fort Worth, Texas. Founded by professional paintball player [[Ryan Hall]], it specialises in decorative finishes for aluminium components, including [[paintball marker]] bodies, barrels and accessories.[1][2][3]

== Background ==
Hall established Arc Anodizing alongside his tournament paintball career. He discussed starting the company in a 2020 [[GoSports]] interview with [[Matty Marshall]], while playing for [[Ac Dallas|ac Dallas]], and in a subsequent Paintball Nerd interview in 2023.[1][4]

The business has undertaken both individual customer commissions and projects for paintball companies. Its work includes custom finishes for the [[Boston Paintball]] and [[Committed Paintball]] Twister range.[5]

== Services ==
Arc Anodizing specialises in custom graphic Type II anodising. Its services include individual colour schemes, fades, splashes and graphic designs, with finishes produced to customer specifications.[3]

The business also offers laser marking, either on existing anodised components or in combination with a new finish. For supported marker models, it provides disassembly and reassembly services, allowing customers to submit complete markers for customisation.[2][6]

== Paintball projects ==
In an interview published by HP-WT.com, Committed Paintball's Ttwo described selecting Arc Anodizing for the F-Series [[Twister Autococker]] project. Customers could specify their own colour schemes and submit additional components for matching. Hall worked directly with customers on these finishes, returning completed markers in batches for assembly.[5]

The same interview documents Arc's involvement in colour-matched Twister display stands and custom [[Powerhouse]] air-system regulators.[5]

== Arc Direct ==
The associated '''Arc Direct''' retail operation offers new products that have already been customised, alongside Arc Anodizing's commissioned work on customer-owned equipment. Its website includes paintball markers, barrels and galleries organised by marker type, colour and finishing technique.[6]
