Black coating things

[Jim Smyth]

OK, Here's the question. I have a heat treat oven as well as a toaster oven for tempering. I would like to get infomation on coating either stainless steel pocket clips and also coating Titanium in a flat black. I know there is a spray coating out there just don't know where to go for it. I am looking for the most durable coating that resist's scratching. Price is unimportant for the best desired results. Any information would be helpfull. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.

CJ,

Phillip and I recently had some blades coated with BlackTi by TiGold. We also had some stainless pocket clips coated. So far the coating has held up well but we haven't put any of the blades to hard use.

I'm not sure if the Titanium can be coated. You can email the folks at TiGold and they will be able to tell you. They gave us great service.

I believe Caswell Plating has a fairly inexpensive ($25.00 or so) "Black Oxide Kit". Try the following link: http://caswellplating.com/nsindex.htm
