why in hell would you want to anodise titanium, its rustfree , but if you must I see no reason why not.

Don't tell Paul G (a.k.a. 907) - he uses it in his famous silencers!

saying that its always nice to tell your mates that some of your car is made from titanium, even if it is just a couple of bolts

It was always my plan to have little bit of titanium, little bit of chromoly, and a little bit of carbon fibre......just as token gestures...

The exhaust above cost less than £100 including a titanium silencer. The 929 Fireblade came with a titanium manifold as standard. We bought another for £40 and a ZX12 titanium can for £50. It was a "cut and shut" exercise from there on in.
The paddle shift cost nothing as we got the material from the scrap bin and I am a CNC machinist. And I work nightshift.

The car also has a titanium bladed anti roll bar and a titanium cross brace to strengthen and support the steering rack mounts.
All genuinely locost.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to anodise it though.
But if you insist...

ANODISE TITANIUM LINKY

And I bought a big box of the stuff on ebay for about £50.....Then Spyder gave me some more!

quite right, it is not for the car.

would like to have gold colour bolts, purely for show, like these.
