Plating Titanium with Black Krome

[mlaponsie]

First, let me say that I am considering purchasing the brush plating kit in order to create a ring for my husband. I found the perfect ring but it is the wrong finish. With that said...

I would like to plate a titanium ring with Black Krome, is this possible? If not, do you have any other recommendations to achieve a black finish on titanium?

Thank-you,
Melissa

Plating onto titanium requires many specialized pre-treatments in order to etch the metal and allow plating - not something the home user can accomplish easily, if at all.

Also, Black Krome is not durable enough for a ring. It will wear off very quickly.

You can anodize titanium, but I don't think you can get black. See Anodizing Titanium

the company that makes it can't do it in black ti? there are lots of black metals used for rings. here are a list you can do some more research on perhaps: Absolute Design - Titanium, Black Titanium, Black Zirconium & Black Gold Wedding Bands
