From my background knowledge it will be ugly to go anodized because it will show the flaws in the metal more, I haven't personally SEEN the Takedas from all angles, but I know the Stillen's are good, but not 100%


Also, anodized WILL give you either a crappy pink or a candy apple effect because the metal WILL show through.
(We do a lot of anodizing red at our company and it's never really red, usually a pinkish hue)


My money is still on PC or paint actually
Thanks for the info! Ill be sure to ask the plater for a sample to see what there red anodize looks like. If its not up to par I'll have them color match my rotors and have them powder coated instead.

The quality of the polish on the Takeda tubes is not great (lots of fine scratches) and would definitely need a good polish if I chose to go Black Chrome or Ano Red. I have tons of experience polishing aluminum so thats not a problem.
