how do you get the anodizing done if you do your own forged receiver?

You can send it out to an outfit like  US Anodizing.

Send it out to be anodized.

So I have another question along the same lines...

I have an 80% lower that I finished and want to get it anodized.  Can I just send it to US Anodizing as is?  Since it was originally an 80% lower, it has no s/n or paperwork.  Since I'm not an FFL, can they send it back to me without some sort of paperwork being necessary?

My main concern is that at some point during the whole thing I'm going to have to get it registered.

Thanks!

Pretty sure you can just send it to US Anodizing, no problem.   Email Victor and tell him what you got and he will let you know.  These folks do a great job, you won't be sorry.

Years ago I returned a couple AR15 to Colt for refinishing - they did a great job on all the parts.
Cost about $120 each at the time.
