Re-anodize Abu Garcia alum reel plate

I have some Abu Garcia reels, I am wondering if I can re-anodize them , if so what would be the best method to do this in? the colors would consist of mostly bright colors.

Completely disassemble and send only the aluminum parts which are to be anodized to a reputable anodizing shop. You can probably get 1000 reels anodized for less cost, and with better results than if you try to get in the anodizing business yourself.
