Custom DLC coating?

[gamma_nyc]

BF,

Is there a shop you know of that offers custom engraving and DLC or PVD in a variety of colors?

I’m working on a design for a Demko ti scale that would require DLC coating in Royal Purple, Primary Red, and Ultramarine Blue…

Thanks!

I think color options for DLC are black, black, or black, maybe gray. PVD, I don't know. Anodizing supports a variety of colors and is doable at home.

DLC and PVD are black.

Titanium Nitride has the colors. Those gold colored drill bits at the store are TiN plated. And since titanium changes color depending on the voltage of the plating. There's gold to purple. Straw, blue. I don't think there's a red. I haven't seen it.

Ionbond here in the states has done DLC on suspension parts for me in the past with excellent results.

Somewhat related question. Can DLC be reapplied? I got a Heretic Medusa for a significant discount because the DLC is a little thin near the tip on one side; It doesn't really bother me, but I just thought I might as well ask.

I’ve only seen true DLC (a specific type of PVD, the hardest of them) in black. PVD can come in black, dark grey, gold, rose gold, copper-ish, blue, and a somewhat coffee color. Can’t help you with good outsourcing companies.
