RC-Monster Mike so what's the plan?

It cannot be anodized the same way aluminum is. You can change the color with both heat and electric current. Those are two different methods.

Seriously? Well dam...Why not? Is that the anodizing is effectively a "coat" of paint that hardens? And the titanium properties allow a modest amount of give?

Anodizing is not a "coat of paint" - it is an electrolytically created layer of oxide on the surface of a part. The color is from a dye that is incorporated into the oxide layer. However this wikipedia article mentions that anodizing can be done for a number of different metals including Titanium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing
