On 3rdgen.org there is a tech article that tells you how to anodize your own alum. Believe it was written by TPI383, or either sent in by him/her. I'm doubting anyone has done this since powdercoating and painting are much much simpler.

i have the article about how to do it at home. i was never satisfied with the look of painted or powdercoated intakes. you can do so much stuff with anodization its really nuts. splashes, fades, plus the finish is really cool. it doesnt cover up the look of the aluminum, it just embeds color into the metal. A much nicer option in my opinion.
