How about powder coating it and adding a top color to it?

Thats not anodizing. Anodizing is an electroplating type process that almost dyes the outside of aluminum a certain color. It will look like this:

IMO, Powder coating looks much better and isn't as expensive as electroplating.

I stand corrected. You have to use this very weird looking paint-brush and you'll have that look...
