Maybe check out hexcrews? Really nice assortment kit, maybe a little pricey though.

You guys know any places that sell anodized aluminum hardware kits?

Not really kits, but they sell anodized fasteners.
Fastener Express - Socket Head Cap Screws, Metric Screws , Fasteners and Anodize - Aluminum Screws, Fasteners Nuts Washers
There's a place close to me called Maryland Metrics, they only deal in metric hardware. Their website is a bit confusing ( at least to me) but the customer service is great, maybe it's worth a call to them to find what you want.

Or Mcmaster.com just order 100each qty of everything you need, might need and couple lengths shorter and longer. "thumbsup"
Screw Loose is great! Awesome guy and good hardware! I like KNK as well.
Just AVOID RC Screwz whenever possible. I've had hardware come with the wrong lengths and he told me to cut them. That owner is a smart ass dick so don't expect good customer service.

I ordered two 650 piece button head Screw Loose M3 kits and they arrived last night; one kit stainless and one kit black oxide. Everything is unbagged and put away in my existing hardware organizer. This is my impression and answers to your questions.
The stainless kit did not come with M3x6mm, but the black oxide kit did. Conversely, black oxide did not come with M3x25mm (IIRC), but stainless did. Point is: if you need a certain size in a specific kit, double check that it is included and do not assume stainless and black oxide have the same sizes.
Every group of same size hardware had its own bag and each bag had an attractive little label. This label pealed easily and could be reapplied to the hardware organizer without losing any adhesive. While these labels were a small perk and did not factor into my original purchase decision, my hardware organizer looks freaking cool with each bin labeled. I kinda wish I had done this sooner or at least purchased a label kit, if they exist.
Both kits came with nylon lock nuts in silver coating. I was fine with this since I had just purchased 100 standard M3 nuts from McMaster for cheap. However, if you are trying to minimize an extraneous McMaster order, you may want to contact Screws Loose first and see if they can build you a custom kit that includes both nut types. Both kits also came with M3 washers that happen to be a usable diameter and not too think.
All in all, I am genuinely satisfied with my purchase from Screws Loose and will order from them again when the need arises. I do recommend them.

The RC Screwz kit I bought was organized enough that I wasted an hour removing and sorting out the different length hex head screws to get the right ones for the shock to axle mounts...
