Probably not. I mean, it could be done during the melting process if they can find colorings that can survive the high temperatures. I have no idea if there are though. I always thought anodizing was the way to dye metal. I figure once it's gone back to a solid state, it's too late. There's always paint. OR a Sharpie and some patience. |

I think Correct. If you have lots of precautions, you can try to do it yourself, although I wouldn't recommend it. |

No, it has been sealed, it has to be stripped and then re anodized, dyed, and then sealed. |
