In fact, certain species of anodizing will probably be immune to the etchant while some will probably be damaged by it. If you must paint your anodized parts, just wash and dry them thoroughly to remove your greasy finger prints so the paint will stick. Painting is sort of gilding the lily, however, since an anodized finish is quite corrosion proof. Plus, it adds weight and you have to mask off holes and bearing mating surfaces.
