not sure of your tech knoedge but this site has some info ( it's an anodizing specialist) particually about how different grades of alli and how the metal finish affect the way the anodise appears, colour it turns, and issues in the alli that anodising will pick up.You may find something in there.
Personally I'd ring up ( with the grade of alli) tell them what your upto and ask what they recommend you use.
