The PT101 has an aluminum frame. Taurus anodizes theirs to help with durability. However, as is often the case with anodized products, it creates a rainbow 'sheen' when the light hits it.

My thought is to hit the frame with some aluminum polish to take the anodization off it and then hit it with a satin duracoat so the frame matches the slide.

Thoughts? Any reason why this would make the gun dangerous/unreliable?
Well anodizing is basically aluminum's layer of rust, their are multiple levels of anodizing each with different durabilities. Generally the fancy colors are less durable then blackish/purple (If I understand correctly), you can probably duracoat over the anodizing and be happy and then still have the annodizing if you change your mind. I've never used duracoat but I have rattlecanned over anodizing. As long as you spray the aluminum afterwords, it probably won't be harmful.
