ATM Anodizing Aluminium

>They offer a complete aluminum anodizing kit (tanks, chemicals, leadplates, and

but a group or club might go together to have it around for use by
members.

Sounds like a lot of money for pretty basic stuff.  I got by with
a 6 amp battery chager and a plastic bucket.

However, the anodizing part is easy.  The hard part is getting
a nice even color. It's not too hard on small parts but the
4 x 5 plates for my AstroCamera never got right.  Frankly,
I gave up and sent the parts out that I was working on.
I needed them in a hurry and figured I would debug the process
later.
