Just got my RNC Holy Grail 2.0 today!!! I wanted to anodize the sprocket DIY ice blue
Anodizing Titanium is actually very easy and the materials needed are simple.
Distilled water, Titanium Wire, 9V batteries, baking soda, aluminum foil, simple green, gloves and alligator clips!
First make a electrolyte solution in a very clean buck with the distilled water and baking soda. 1 part baking soda to 8 parts water (I honestly free poured).
Fold a a sheet of aluminum 4-5 times and make a square. This will be your anode, submerge half the square into the water and attach the alligator clip. You may want to use an insulated clip to hold the aluminum to the container (my alligator clip held the aluminum and the container)
Cut titanium wire to a workable length where you can hook it onto the part and are able to dunk. Wrap the other end of the titanium wire twice around the positive alligator clip, just one jaw so you can still open the clip (disconnected from battery of course)
Setup your batteries on a stable surface and hook the 9v batteries up in series (its like building lego). Color is dependent on voltage ( i used 3-4 to get blue)
Put on gloves so you dont contaminate the part. Clean your part very well with simple green and rinse in distilled water.
You are now ready to submerge and color.
Hook up the ground from the aluminum foil to the negative terminal of you battery setup. Then hook your part on the titanium wire, hold any insulated part to dunk. Hook up the alligator clip attached to your part to the positive.
Submerge fully in the solution and do not touch the aluminum or part will weld (leaves marks on the part as well). Wait for desired color!!!
Sorry the before picture is doo-doo
