Advice on refinishing titanium

I just removed the anodizing (done by a previous owner and not a very good job at that) on titanium scales using Whink. It did an amazing job but now I have scales that are pretty much raw titanium and will pick up any smudge or fingerprint around. Any suggestions on what I could do now? I don't want to paint or re-anodize either. Stone tumble? Bead blast? etc? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
 
If you sand them with a green pad you can get a satiny finish that's relatively easy to touch up, if that look appeals to you
 
Harbor freight has tumbling media that you can use to get a stonewash finish. Just toss the scales in a plastic container with wd40 and the tumbling materials, rotate it or shake it until you get your desired finish.

Thanks! I'll take a look at that.

But would there be anyone that would provide refinishing services?
