Default How to Anodise

Was thinking about anodising my pipes on my bike. Has anyone done this before or know how/where it can be done??

Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn't the colour just burn off? Or did you mean making them look scorched as opposed to a solid shiny colour?

Cans, or header pipes? Pipework really means VHT paint, or ceramic coating.

Maybe i can afford that next year

Cans - I am happy with my standard cans on my bike - they are quiet which is great at 6am on a Sunday morning warming up the bike. But they're a little ordinary looking - so i thought i may just tart them up a bit by colouring them somehow. Looking at the CCC site i see theirs are powder coated. But with what and how is it done i was wondering?
