Painting titanium

Post by ANTONISH »

I have a Ti frame in it's natural finish - which is OK but unexciting.
Is it possible to have the frame spray painted ?

Yes. I don't know anymore than that, but it's included on most specialist cycle painters websites.

I’m sure Bianchi titanium frames used to be painted.

Thanks for the replies - it appears possible but takes more preparation than steel.
