Jet hot coating

I have a set of aluminum pulleys I got dirt cheap. I heard they tend to wear out quicker since they are aluminum. Would having them ceramic coated make them last longer?

Probably.

Hard anodize would probably works as well or better, and would probably be cheaper.

Could you give me any info on hard anodizing? Is this something I could do myself?

Not that I've heard. Most any plating shop could handle it, I would think.
