Propeller Anodizing

Does anyone know of a prop repair shop that will re-anodize a propeller in the original silver color? At 57 years, my prop has a few spots and of course marks where the edges have been dressed.
I would like to have it re-anodized like original, as I don’t want a black finish on an old airplane. 8)

A lot of prop shops no longer anodize because of EPA issues. Why not have it painted grey? That's what most shops are now doing.

I just had my H-S 5404 prop overhauled. It was anodized, but came back painted grey. I can hardly tell the difference, and the paint is more abrasion resistant.

Guess I just like it to look original. Nothing wrong with paint - the OEM's wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't satisfactory. 8)
