Paint coating for titanium

+++++++

Dear Sirs, I am a professional fisherman who loves new technology. Titanium is fairly new to our industry as a replacement for lead in sinkers and lures to reduce toxic materials left on the lake bottom. My question is how do you color titanium? I haven't been able to get paint to adhere and I have been told that oxidation processes (blueing techniques) don't work with titanium. Any advice on this will be shared with thousands of others like me. Thanks

Patient application of the search engine with the term "anodize titanium" will yield the answers, Charles. Good luck.
