You can anodize it pretty much any color, if you have access to the equipment.

I think you're looking for the do it yourself where you can actually paint the color back onto it using foil or something like that?

Take it to a motor shop welder...this is not a DIY as it will turn gold instead of blue with the wrong temp.
