Yes , you can paint over anodized metal. Any paint on metals that are to be anodized is stripped before anodizingCool

What is truth -

the aluminum has to be cleaned befored it can be anodized so therefore no it cannot be painted first

I have painted over anodized aluminum...powdercoat too. Aluminum has to be raw metal in order to anodize.
