Who wants to anodize some Ti?

I'm about to go get me some borax and 9 volts after reading this!

If any of you do happen to play around with this, please post your results. We'd all like to see it. But I think everything should be anodized.

I may be in the minority, but anodized titanium always looks a bit tacky to me. Those iridescent blues and browns look tawdry on ti's understated sheen.

I have an anodizer and a blast cabinet, I just ran out of frames. It’s super fun to do. The article is great, and I want to try out some of the stuff he mentions.
