CLEAR coating to protect TITANIUM anodize?
Titanium is all the rage in the custom knife industry. Now I love the looks of colored titanium, I try to avoid using it because the coating wears off so quickly. I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions to a type of clear coating I can put over top of my titanium parts (electrically anodized,also heat colored) that will slow down the fading and scratching of it. Is there some sort of clear ceramic coating available? I've tried epoxides, urethanes, car paint clear coat ... and all want to flake off because the surface of the titanium is mirror polished. It doesn't have to be a process that me myself will do...I don't mind sending them out to be done.
Thanks in advance!
