Before pics: Throw: Titanium Fallen Angel ![IMG_0423](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/4/a/24aa0f6e261c94d26dfde0171a4f7fcf61029c09.jpeg) ![IMG_0422](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/d/e/ddee91c1d8df358ab5d190d589577172758e368f.jpeg) ![IMG_0424](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/e/e/5ee7285a55155ebe6a1464d19788787896cf1daa.jpeg) ![IMG_0430](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/f/8/cf8fab764b99ce7e4c035434beed9c9587141808.jpeg) As soon as I heard anodizing was a thing that could be done by anyone(more or less), I was immediately fascinated and loved the idea of being able to anodize my own YOYO one day. But I soon realized doing so on aluminum yo-yos was probably a little more than I was ready to commit too. Eventually I got my first titanium and found out all about Ti ano! And how much easier it was. This was a much more realistic option. Fast forward a year or two and had a few ti’s by now and still hadn’t given it a real try. And kinda forgot all about it, idk what restarted the interest I think it was a combination of things, seeing some old posts here on the forum about other guys trying it with great success really inspired me. Then I got a titanium fallen angel a few weeks ago. The the throw itself is probably my favorite mini I’ve ever thrown, but I was crazy about the the grey color it was cuz of the blasted finish. And if this is gna be my favorite throw I have to be in love with the color too. So here it was, here’s my chance t finally try my had at ano. On my favorite YOYO… for my first try ever… what could go wrong? lol. Well the answer actually is a whole lot. Luckily that’s not what happened. After pics: I finally landed on colors I was happy with and decided to quit while I was ahead. I didn’t want to mess up and have to sand my YOYO. Here it is! ![IMG_0514](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/f/f/eff91bb6b6ff9b08882d581007d1b81ac5f6a663.jpeg) ![IMG_0544](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/2/0724f95e760979b3e4bf7d383d2c61080f8e4f2f.jpeg) ![IMG_0510](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/f/a/0fa981632ceaf5483f84d89187d8b3993a095460.jpeg) ![IMG_0501](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/b/4/bb48b678981a82229174f5ee96f9e8355611710a.jpeg) ![IMG_0533](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/1/a/21a16240000d485e29e875c03102e3125143bebf.jpeg) ![IMG_0562](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/6/d/06de7c5c1d15325582557f6adbc877174568181a.jpeg) ![IMG_0565](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/0/2/f02333b6216dc565b60d21199ecf36421a3ee073.jpeg) ![IMG_0557](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/0/d/10de54438c5dbb40ef9cb12a846060bc9b4ef2ff.jpeg) ![IMG_0553](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/f/e/2fe5d70daffcdff0e95b98e27f27b28543731a5b.jpeg) ![IMG_0548](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/7/7/f77fe5a14e2a107a0a33282cbae432cd6b319a47.jpeg) Now I got my own custom version a bape-ishhh ti fallen angel. I didn’t do that on purpose either I didn’t realize til just now actually that it’s almost the right colors, close enough for me. What do u guys think? I definitely wanna give another try. It’s so fun. If anyone wants a detailed write up of the process lmk n ill post that in the mods section ---

Yeah very first time. It’s pretty straight forward and as long as u follow the process and are aware of the rules and parameters, for example knowing which voltages lead to which colors as long as u start off at the very lowest and slowly work ur way up you should be able to end up with a color u like. Thanks everyone. Honestly this is def gna become a new hobby for sure! I’m hooked. Now if only I had more titanium! 😆 ---

The fact that you can undo the anodization is so cool to me. I’m sure you’ve seen Dylan‘s video upping the voltage high enough to turn it back to raw. ---

Actually I haven’t watched that specific part I don’t think. But I have watched his vids as well as many others. I used other videos from other people that were unrelated to yo-yos but better overall imo. But Dylan’s were my foundation obviously that got me jump started. But I’m actually curious to go find that now lol ---
