Ti isn't naturally silver, that's polished Ti. Ti is naturally that cool rainbowy color.
If chemicals or polishing doesn't work, you can sand without altering the finish, just use a higher grit of sandpaper, say 1000 grit. It's "Dr. _paralyzed_" actually. Not like with a PhD, but Doctor like in Dr. Pepper. |

Well, I got the anodizing off. Although I had to resort to a method, which I knew would work for sure, but just did not want to do. It turned out ok though, so I'm happy.
Greased Lightning = Fail Easy off oven cleaner = Fail Drano (w/caustic soda/lye) = Fail Coke (suggested by a friend as a last resort, haha) = Fail Final last resort, WIRE WHEEL = Success (as expected), just had to do it with care. Before:  After:  Front skid wasn't anodized obviously, just needed some polishing. -Travis Common sense, is not so common. |

Nice work man! That center skid looks great. I took some Ti skids to a machine shop one time because they had some pretty good scratches in them and I wanted to see if he could mill off a slight amount of material. He ended up using a scotch brite pad and they came out looking like your center skid.

Looks great, nice job. Nice to know what did and didn't work on the anodize on the TI parts.
I want that purple motor, is it a Hacker? |

Thank you for the front and center skids Blazerss!!
 oh and I got lucky and found a brand new in package HCR TI Rear Skid, on Amazon, of all places!  But it's blue, so I just need to repeat the process on this skid now.  -Travis Common sense, is not so common. |
