Can you Anodise Titanium...

<< < (4/6) > >>

eddie kidd:
Spoke with Jay (Anodiser Chick) on this...

She tried to Anodise a Titanium Part and it blew up... :shocked:

I only need 4 spokes done...

Any ideas, other than spraying... ???

oldskoolg60:
I know of a company that does anodising, the jigs they use to hold the components on are made of titanium I believe, worth giving them a call or I can ask the question the next time I'm over there.

PM me if youre interested, not sure on what colours you could get but will try to help if I can mate

john4130:
it may be quicker and cheaper just to buy new ones.

Weren't a lot of the titanium frames BITD left bare, like the Titan Mini frames for example? I hadn't really thought about an anno finish for a frame before until reading this thread.
