My experience with high heat and Caswell kit anodizes is limited, but usually you will see a shift in the dye color and possible cracking once you reach temperatures over 300 degrees. The cracking is due to the differences in thermal expansion ratios between aluminum and the ceramic aluminum oxide. It is worse around tight radii and sharp corners.

How high of temperatures are you planning on running?
