Default Anodizing Brake Calipers.

Does anyone have experience with anodizing brake calipers?

After 10 pages of searching I didn't see what I was looking for so figured I'd pose the question.

I really hate the Honda gold they colored some parts of their bikes (i.e. calipers and engine covers), so was thinking of going the chrome route, but also thought about anodizing. I am leaning toward anodizing because the coating thickness can be less than chrome, so that's good considering the close tolerances of the brake caliper pistons and halves.

Does anyone have actual experience with anodizing either calipers or other parts? Is it heat resistant?


Thanks!
