Touching up anodized receiver

Q. I am restoring an old shot gun for my dad and have the stocks refinished and barrel blued but cannot seam to touch up the aluminum receiver. I don't want to use a marker but, neither do I want to spend 350.00 + dollars on a kit. Are there any alternatives?

A. If the receiver is all aluminum (no steel parts), an anodizing shop can re-anodize it for a lot less than $350.
