Aluminum can be tricky to paint. Anything, even a rattle can will look good, for the first week, after that...
One of the reasons anodizing is so prevalent with aluminum, (besides preventing your hands from blackening when handling it, & corrosion protection), is is readily absorbs die. Anodizing leaves a neutral color, all those blues & reds you see on AL products are the result of the anodizing absorbing a die.
I would leave it alone.
If you are really set on changing the color, start Googling the subject, & research how & what prep needs to be done, especially prep for an item that ia anodized.[/quote]
