Looking to get a few titanium drilled washers anodized for my bike in red and black. Does anyone know of a good company to do it. Not a big job at all, about 10 of each. Wondered where Chad Reed got his frames and swingarm anodized. Thanks

Most places I talked to dont do small amounts. They want bigger lots. Usually they have a premium for smaller runs. If I was you, Talk to all your friends see what they want done, and all go in together to get everything done. Might come out cheaper.. Just my .02

Try Embee Plating in Santa Ana. If they can't do it, ask the sales person if he/she can recommend someone. They will all have a minimum charge so be ready for sticker shock.

Correct. I'm not metal scientist at all BUT it has something to do with the properties of Ti only allow it to be anodized certain colors….of which i think are gold, blue, purple, or a rainbow color (mixture of all). Aluminum on the other hand can be any color you can dream of.
