Titanium can be anodized with electricity...I have friends that can do it. I'm not sure if they'd do it for you.

Here's a sample of the colors that are possible: http://www.mailleartisans.org/gallery/pics/245ticolorscale.jpg

Apparently it can also be done at home easily: http://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/PopularScience/2005/08/1/index.html

They have a machine in the airforce that can do this quickly and you can regulate the volts so that i can get the color i want which is 30
