Hard Anodizing Stock Brake Calipers

I'm curious if anyone has considered hard anodizing their stock brake calipers? Stoptech does this to their Trophy brake kits and it's supposed to prevent color changing or hue changing of the caliper at track brake temperatures.

I'm not sure of the costs involved but I'm really not into the factory blue caliper color.

Anodizing Company (would be nice to find a company who has done calipers before)

There is a specialty shop that anodizes here in my town.
Would be neat to know if that is possible...

Brake caliper paint that is ruined by track use is a battle scar one can be proud of.

I found these guys in Houston that said they could probably do it. No idea on the costs involved or other details yet.
