The hard coating is actually type 3 anodizing and anodizing applies mainly to aluminum but is also used on titanium. Type 3 actually forms a hardened layer approx. 1.5 to 3 thousands of an inch thick (into and on top of the material) and any reputable anodizing shop can do it in any color anodizing. Try contacting a company called Precision Anodizing in Oklahoma City. Sorry I dont have a contact number.

No problem. They did a set of motocross rims for me a few years back and they turned out sweet! Im 99% sure they do type 3. Good luck!

Mark @ Powerhouse RC was doing the hardcoats.

Whether he can do your specific pipe, idk; but shoot him a message:
