Coloring stainless steal

[Dhim]

Hey guys, quick question that has me stumped. I've been seeing a lot more colored stainless showing up in one form or another. What process are people using for it? It looks a little too incorporated for it to be powder coating and I was under the impression that you can't anodize a solid piece of stainless for uniform coloring.

What are people doing to get colors on stainless? Here's an example of the Tobh colored attys that MadVapes just got in stock. I'm really digging the blue look, and I think a black and blue stainless mod could be awesome. I know it's easily obtainable with aluminum, but this is SS.

I torch my shit but to each their on.

That's definitely not torched. The color spectrum isn't correct. Stuff like this really interests me because it can really open the door for some cool looking mods. Before you could only get that finish with aluminum. I'm just curious how it is coated or if there is a new process to powdercoating for seemless results like that.

Do you think is good idea if i try to my hammer tube ?

Maybe that's baked, rather than torched? Seems too bright.
I torched a mod, got tired of it and sanded it back down and now really like it just kinda off SS

perhaps via electric plating

Likely some odd-ball form of anodizing, typically done on AL. Some electro-chemical etch/coating...?

polarized Painting? positive charged paint evenly attaches to grounded metal (like automotive industry).

or paint with titanium dust then anodize it?
