Titanium plating on steel products like manicure items

I just need to get the complete process for the electroplating of titanium on the stainless steel and also on the carbon steel; kindly help me out of this as I am really in need of that. Looking forward to have the favorable answer for that.

It is generally accepted that titanium is not commercially electroplateable, although our friend Goran Budija has been kind enough to give us some formulas from plating books for laboratory attempts. You may be actually seeking titanium nitride finishes--the color they put on "gold" drill bits? These are applied by PVD processes, so you would need to install the PVD equipment or retain the services of a jobshop that offers it.

Titanium Coating is a Big process and not like ordinary electroplating. It is called PVD coating. Huge machineries required for that.
