One problem is that anodizing is never cheap until you find a competent person that is doing it as a hobby.
Here is a place that a lot of yo-yo fanatics use
Oooh, good link. Yeah, that is pricey, but when I think about the hassle I'd be taking it on to do it myself - I live in an apartment so no garage, space is at a premium - it's not so bad.
You know what's really weird? I've seen a few sites that have custom anodizing, and they've been related to stuff like paintball, telescopes and (IMO) niche hobbies like that. Been hard to find a place that's specifically related to bikes or (oddly enough) even motorcycles.
