I have a raw Grail. Is it possible to anodize it without getting rid of the pyramatte stone wash finish? Or does it have to be polished or something to get rid of the oxidation layer on the raw 6061 aluminum surface?

If possible, any recommended anodizers out there that accepts custom yoyo ano jobs? I’ve asked BT but they’ll not be available for a long time
