However, the tank has both male and female threaded ports (mostly -AN style). I am concerned about the ability to get the -AN lines reconnected to these ports after being anodized. Is it ok to have these threads anodized also or do I have them masked off? Masking costs extra and takes an extra week.

Can anyone share their experience with anodizing similar parts?

Ive only done that once, and I didnt have a problem with it, the fitting worked perfectly. I know black is a very hard color to get right, it comes out brown if youre a amateur like me
