So for Ti, I have not....what I am going to try to do on Ti is purchase a red anodized powder and see if I can lay a light powder layer that will not add weight and be as durable as anodization.I just noticed the heading Willie , hahahaha , all good my brother , always good to help a mate as we all can relate too on this fantastic forum .
@jeffgordons24 , Steve , just quickly , I am interested in how you are going on the red anodizing titanium ? I think you might have some trouble , because I never see that color for ti components for sale on anyones products . But , that would be killer on bolts if you could do a bright red bro .
I was expecting a rough cut CNC piece of steel but it's polished and finished up pretty well. Looks like good stuff.I ordered the engine mount tool kit from them the other day , still waiting for that to arrive . I expect these pieces are also pretty good quality .
Definitely interested in seeing how this turns out once you get it mastered. I definitely can't afford to catch the titanium bug right now but possibly some aluminum and maybe ti in the future. Only thing is it seems that all the red anodized I've ever had had faded quickly to a pink but im sure if anyone can master it it'll be you @jeffgordons24 .So for Ti, I have not....what I am going to try to do on Ti is purchase a red anodized powder and see if I can lay a light powder layer that will not add weight and be as durable as anodization.
For aluminum I can pull it off with a dye but I am still working on materials for aluminum anodizing.

Wow @jeffgordons24 are you doing that anodizing yourself? Dude that's impressive. Good for you.

Your awesome red titanium bolts are suddenly pink, lmao, priceless.
This is why I can't go wrong with black and gray.
Nope not any titanium just some cheap aluminum stuff I've put on my cars in the past. Luckily I have yet to be bitten by that bug.
