Blank Anodized Aluminum Keycaps?

I'm looking to complete my Dota 2 themed keyboard with Quas, Wex, and Exort colored caps on QWE. I could go with plastic, but I think these would look much better if they were aluminum and it would go nicely with the gold plated brass key I had printed by Shapeways.

I've seen aluminum caps in the past, but none of them have been blank. Does anyone know where I can get caps like this?

The only aluminum set I can think of is Scarface, and that's insanely expensive, not to mention I can only think of a single person outside of Korea who owns a set off the top of my head. The aluminum caps you're thinking of were most likely actually zinc.

Hmm, maybe the ones I remember seeing weren't aluminum then.

Do you think it would be possible to have them made? It seems like a CNC machine could mill keycaps but I'm not sure if anyone would be able to do anodizing on such a small scale.
