You have issues with the colour? Does that mean you want it painting?

What exact issue? You don't like the color so you want to repaint/re-annodize?

Can you be a little more specific about this?

The KMAC LE had the two case pieces anodyzed slightly different colours. You can see this in photos.

Is it in bright sunlight?  Some anodizing colors are not photo-stable and can fade over time, and if your KMAC was reanodized in some custom color, that could be a problem.  But without more description/photos, it's difficult to say what's wrong.

As said... pictures please.

You are in luck in some kind of ways. Metal cases offer a world of options when it comes to colors.
Since it is not too heat sensitive, you can even bake something that will last a very long time.
