That is powdercoated. The color is anodized blue. From the information I got on powdercoating, anodized blue is a stage 2 color.. IMO I think you could achieve the same effect with some high temp enamel paint although PC would last longer. I painted my calipers black with the advance auto parts high temp paint and they came out with that nice glossy look I think you're goin for. Good luck

TRG Coating

Their "Candy Blue" looks pretty close to the color in your picture.

Duplicolor makes the METALCAST paint. It is heat resistant and it is a two part paint. You have to spray the silver basecoat down first and then once thats dry you lay down the red "candy" lookin color. I used it on my valve cover before I just painted it with the actual paint I used to paint my car. It works well.

P.S. be careful on the blue, it works just like a candy. If your too heavy on one side it will be much darker. every coat, it gets darker.
