Actually any heat is hard on anodizing since it opens the pores in the metal and that compromises the dye. Thats why when you look at older project cars the fittings are all baby blue and pink. lol

AutoRad quit offering black annodizing because they couldn't get a consistent result on the welds and the panels.

I agree that power paint would make more sense.
