What about the temper in the aluminum?
I would be very nervous if I heated a tempered aluminum plate much over 350 F. This is a very conservative number, but it is commonly used as the threshold for tempered aluminum.
So I don't need to worry about using that $7.50 per can 900 degree brake rotor spray paint and can stick with the el cheapo 500 degree stuff:-)

I have a pal that bought this particular book and kit. I highly recommend it. Instructions were easy to follow. All the "weird" chemicals are provided. All you need are containers, battery acid, and a battery charger. Everything we anodized came out great.
I should add that the chemicals are not dangerous or highly toxic. The "worst" chemical is the battery acid. It is astoundingly simple to anodize aluminum.
