Painted

Thank you, I appreciate the education I am getting from a couple knowledgeable members on this board.

I think the red parts looks stunning.

Here's something my team knocked up without paint

for arguments sake check this out
Does this look anodized? to my non-expert eye it does
Its definitely red.
Of course that doesn't mean its necessarily Titanium but the parts don't look like obvious fakes.
its true though that I almost never see Red Juliets unless its paint or cerakote which is why I saved these pics, so unique looking

I'm sure you know that is from another thread on this forum. I believe he said they were powder coated?

I think those are the ones that @rthomas218 did and they are anodized red powder coated.

The red/black juliets were powder coated. It is an anodized look (translucent powder) with alot of prep work done. I polished the frame to a mirror finish with sandpaper to 2500 wet and then used 3m polish, 3 stage, then wax and grease remover before powder. I might have overdone the prep, but was my 1st xmetal powdercoat. I have a translucent blue I'm going to try next.

You can't anodize titanium red.

Here's a red Juliet X Man did. No idea how he did it, I got it second hand.

He uses both cerakote and duracoat. To me that looks like cerakote, based on the how the finish compares to the cerakotes I have, but I guess that's not conclusive.

I notice the chip on the orbital by the lens, though...
