    Please HELP w- edge coating lab

    Hi all
    I need help finding a lab that will do custom edge coatings..
    I used to use nacl and they did a awsome job at a ok price
    however I found out today they no longer do this - since their guy left

    I tried a in house camo flaG kit and it really sucked !!

    Does anyone know of a few labs that will provide this service?
    Any idea on how reasonable they r

    Nacl used to do a great job on a tort.. Match and was looking for somewhere in the USA that does this
    thanks again

    Nacl was the lab I also used some time back. Unfortunately it has been so long since I have had the need for such a coating I cannot reccommend anyone off hand. Newer lens materials and corrective surgery have all but eliminated the need for those options. Good Luck.

    Maybe Walman??

    Luzerne can provide the Camouflage treatment you're looking for.

    Thanks guys

    As for my purpose of using it -- we do allot
    of odd orders that the pts really appreciate it on .

    The current one is a

    +2.25+5.50x 90
    with a KICKER of 23 D base out prism

    We also use it with our high minus work -
    even though 1.74 goes a long way to help ET compared
    to poly -- regardless u still have that edge many hate

    Nacl did a great tort. Shell as well as almost perfect match to almost any color or multi color frames -- and personally I ordered as well as tried myself the camouflage markers and they where So inferior ...

    The work that used to come out of nacl was so much better with being hand painted -- the details of the frame where reproduced almost perfectly without just picking a solid color ..

    If anyone else had any suggestions I would greatly
    apprecaite it !!
