Yeah, watching someone's "anodized" hopper fall apart is about as funny as watching someone crawling in some low cover, and he can't figure out that the other guys are tracking him by his new, brightly colored hopper that doesn't match the plants he's crawling through even though it's green...no, wait, that was me! :D

No, it doesn't. That's why I usually wear a bright orange and black jersey in practice, with an orange and white (currently) headrag and use a bright blue hopper ontop of my blue gun and my hopper occasionally has gold lettering on it along with a bright white talking timer on the side of my hopper. It's also probably why I don't crawl on those rare occasions that I play walk-on :cool:

just spray it

if nothing else...you could buy a can of primer...a can of your prefered orange color...spray the primer...Handsand the dry primer with wet sandpaper, a somewhat fine sandpaper, once very smooth, wait till dry, then spray with orange...then come back and spray a second coat on it...then once dry whip out the clear coat and spray that on there(2 coats)And you have yourself a very good looking custom painted hopper with the same strength it had in the begining.
