You can us 6061 T6 and weld it. If you do not need to weld you can
also buy anodized aluminium. Most of the stockholders of aluminium have
some anodized aluminium available or can arrange this for you.

6061 may not bend without breaking. I don't remember which will bend and not break but this Arrowmarine person should know.
