does anyone know if you can change the color of anonized aluminum? is there a way to re-anonize?

Yes, you can change the color, but it would have to be stripped first. All anodizing shops have this ability, and you have to take it to one anyways to get it re-ano'd.

if you search old posts i believe it was waza that had pics of a whole table of stuff before and after re-anodizing.

A thing to keep inmind about anodizing, the bigger the batch the cheaper it gets per item. Try to get a bunch of things you want the same color and maybe even contact some friends and see if they have anything they want done.

For sure. My local ano guy charges $100 minimum, whether it's just a seat single post clamp or the whole basket full.
