Anodizing Questions

[Micro Rotors]

Hello;

First off I would like to say, I am so glad I stumbled onto this forum!!! I have been wanting to try this stuff for years but have been put off by it because of the lack of information.

My questions are;

1). How much heat can Anodizing take? I want to do a tuned exaust pipe on an RC boat.

2). How do you get the multi-color air brushed look on the paint gun in this link (Click on the Check Out Some Examples Of Beads Anodized With Our Kit link then scroll down the page to see the paint ball gun).

Anodize should easily stand up to 300 deg F.

Use can use a variety of methods to apply dyes to anodize. I believe those guns were colored using a silkscreen method. These methods are explained in the manual in some detail.
