1st Gen Plasma / Titanium restoration

Very nice

I've been very busy lately and the XX TiO2 is parked at the bottom of the list. However, I came across a Juliet 1st gen Ti finish that needed restoring. I decided to apply a new test coating specifically made for G1 Ti Juliets (which is a darker grey than G1 plasmas).

I'm intrigued if people can tell the diff between my work vs a raw untouched Ti frame. Which one is which?

Hmmmmmmmm.

At first I was gonna say the one on the right is untouched. But after looking at it I'll say the left.

Left is your work. Right is untouched

I think the left are untouched, it looks like it shows the yellowing that occurs with oxidation (my XXs show this). The ones on the right are re-finished.

If I have it wrong it is definitely not a reflection of you work, just my eyesight, LOL!

I deliberately aged my restoration to blend in with raw Ti. The left one was my work, the right was the raw Ti.

Here's some pics before I 'yellowed' it for fun

@jdd32 You trickster!!! I was right but in totally the wrong way.

I have to hand it to you, a brilliant execution of ageing.

@XMetalAddict... as far as Im concern, your avatar is the best.

@jdd32....I was right, right? Maybe I'm beginning to learn more stuff here.

You were right!

Funny how I picked the right one at first and then second guessed and picked the wrong one.

I can't make it too easy for you to guess now. Where's the fun in that?
