What is the difference between Powder Coating and Annodizing? Ive never really quite figured it out before...

Powder coating is a sort of magnetic change goining through the particles which sticks to the metal, anodizing is a process of making the metal take a charge and having the color go in the pores.

^^ Thats me.

For a more complete answer, powder coating is a chrage goin to the particles flying through the air and adhearing onto the metal. When an piece is anodized it opens up the pores so the color can soak in.

I see...

Can both powder coating and annodizing be used for any type of metal? Im pretty sure that you cant annodize a Tippman 98, but I could be wrong...???

Yes, but you can't anno a Tippmann but you can powder coat it.
