Powder coating aluminum?

[HAGARGS@aol.com]

I have been reading the submissions to the list and it appears that the 
accepted practice is to Type 1 anodize the aluminum fittings and fixtures.  I 
would like to know if any one has attemped to or has experience with powder 
coating  these items. I know that powder coating involves some pretty high 
baking temperatures. Does this degrade the temper or heat treating of the 
aluminum?

Any info would be much appreciated
