Anodize AFTER you weld. If you anodize before you weld you'll have to clean off the anodize where you're planning on welding. Once you have ALL metal work done then it's time for anodizing. If you start grinding afterward you'll just remove the anodizing (grind through).
The experience I've gotten at work with anodizing (stuff we sent out) is if the metal was buffed or grinded before hand the color doesn't change drastically but the sheen will be different.
