Yes you can. The problem lies with the fact that an annodized surface is porous. This allows grease and dirt to be trapped which will come out under the baking process. When this happens the PC will show pitting, bubbles or may flake off.
Best approach is to bead blast the annodization off. That or do multiple pre-bake/cleaning steps. the surface will look the same when coated.
