Not to discourage you, but be aware that cast aluminum is not the best candidate for anodizing because of the impurities. A lot of shops won’t promise you a very specific color output with a cast part.

Not to discourage you, but be aware that cast aluminum is generally the most difficult and costly to anodize because of impurities.

Too add to that, they’re going to need a pretty large tank to put them in. The only shops I know of that can anodize/tiodize can’t do anything that big.

might be better off trying to get a powdercoat done that looks anodized. I bet they would be expensive to do.
