The anodizing itself shouldn't be to cost prohibitive, no more so than say 
getting something crome dipped. The problem I see, and I could be mistaken, 
is that the anodizing, being a chemical reaction, will cover the entire 
piece, you can't do any masking like you can with paint. So, all the writing 
on the top plate would come out the same color as the rest of the plate, and 
any writing that's just painted on, like the "Olympus" and "OM-4Ti" on the 
front would be totally gone.

Of course, you could always have the writing machine engraved into the 
anodizing. I've seen this done and it looks very nice.
