First of all anodizing is a process only on aluminum, so all your blades have to be aluminum. I know for a fact that there is a wide spectrum of colors now available. Locally by me there is usually a lot charge, depends on the color. roughly $50 - $100. You need a lot of blades to re-coop this cost. Also just like any other material, some aluminums anodize better than others. Also the finish looks much nicer on good clean aluminum. Check your local yellow pages, this is a very common process.

I have never tried it but you might try the Spike-it Blade dip. It looks like it gives the anodized look.

Mr. B
I have not tried the Spike-It Blade dip either. I was not sure how durable it was on the blades...but that is an option I'll look into as well.
Thanks,

Spike It , works well but I'd recommend bake the blade after dipping.It works good on hooks that way also
