Anodized Floorplate & Trigger Guard

I just acquired a lovely bolt gun built on a 98 Mauser action. Unfortunately, it has an anodized alloy trigger guard and floorplate. The finish is quite scratched and much too glossy to match the rust blue of the remainder of the rifle. I will try to get a proper steel one later but for the short term can anyone recommend a gunsmith that can apply some type of coating or plating to make this feature less objectionable? Thanks for any suggestions!

As much as I hate this word....if it's a short term thing....."Paint" it
