Yes, anything is possible, but expect that any service tech to consider it
"tampered" when getting it repaired.
Caswell is introducing a black nickel plating kit for the DIY hobbiest. This
would work well on brass. Titanium is another matter. I don't know what kind
of chemical process would be appropriate for that material. Obviously, you
would have to dissassemble the body such that the parts to be plated were
merely "hunks of metal". See reference to "tampering" above.
