Can you re-anodise in a different colour?

[xizang]

I've just received a Rockshox sus post but I'd like to change the colour. Is it at all possible to re-anodise from a bluey/grey colour to red or gold?

It is,make sure there isnt any other metals apart from ally on the item tho,the old colour will need to be stripped/polished off aswell first.

Any idea of how, where, and how much? Or can you buy a kit anywhere to DIY?

Thought about that too, which is one factor that's putting me off doing it :? The colours ok but I just wanted to see if it could be done as I've 2 RockShox sus posts, tried to get a 3rd, but didn't. Greedy I know but they are very good Thanks again btw for the newest addition
