2004 fsr pro black ano - paint or anodized?

I was wondering if the 2004 fsr pro is anodized black or if it has paint that looks like it is anodized ... does anyone know out there?

If it is anodized - does it seem like a good anodized finish (has anyone scratched or dented one yet?) Also how does the anodized compare to the painted versions in durability? Posters have commented on how the paint doesn't seem as tough as on older frames so that got me wondering.

Thanks

The one I checked out at my LBS was anodized. Looked like it was anodized pretty well so scratching the color shouldn't be an issue - you'll have to remove some aluminum before you remove the color as it is now part of the outer layer of aluminum.
