 I just would rather them be polished.  I heard titanium is pretty tricky though.
It could be done but it will never look like chrome. It will have a gray tone to it. Doing my folding knife parts requires a descent buffer with the right compounds and lots of effort. Polishing something the size of a can would be a lot of work. There are people that specialize it Ti. polishing, I'd rather pay to have it done!!

Veltune does it and from the pics on their website it looks like a very nice job. They have pics of titanium cans that look like they have been chromed. $140 is what they charge for doing the cans. I am thinking about having them do it.

Bill looks great (kind of looks like one I used to know). Went with the same bezel, tree, gascap cover and have no regrets. I mainly used the chrome bezel to hide where my dash melted last year. I've been thinkin about a chrome windshield also. (great minds think alike)
