MetalCast Anododized look paint-Any use this stuff?

Has anyone used MetalCast paint made by Duplicolor on any car parts to get an anodized look? If so, got pictures?

Seems cheaper than buyinng anodized engine dress up parts, and it can be used on brake calipers too.

I'm not sure if this is the same stuff, but I do have experience with their chameleon style paint. The one that changes colour depending on light refraction. That stuff is AMAZING if you follow the instructions. Really easy, clean the surface, base coat, colour/chamleon coat, and clear coat. Takes minutes, and results are fantastic. Great that it isn't too expensive either.

The MetalCast is different. You can even paint plastic parts if you first paint them with their metal undercoat. For isntance, you could paint your oil cap anodized red or blue instead of buying a new one for $25. I think it said it handles 500 degree temps.
Go to the Duplicolor web site for more info. The paint is $6-$7 a can at Schucks.
