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!

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

quite right, it is not for the car.
would like to have gold colour bolts, purely for show, like these.
