Any thought to powder coating instead?

Anodizing can be affected greatly by exposure to UV, I've seen it on some parts I've worked on here for my job. Make sure you investigate the anodizing type - anodizing is a generic term but there's a range of quality depending on the process. I am not an expert but make sure you do your homework before spending cash, not all processes are equal.

With that said, what about powder coating (as mentioned above). It's definitely a more durable finish in the long run.
