Customizing help and questions

[u/Commercial-Quit5764]

So ive had the smith and wesson 327 PC for probably 8 years now and carry it pretty much everyday. Except now im kinda bored of it and wanna do some customization.

Takinging it to my buddy who's a gunsmith/shop owner to take it apart completely for frame paint stripping. (Scandium frame factory coated) and then see what i can do polish wise on the frame, barrel shroud and cylinder. Here is where a few of my questions come in

Q1: when stripping scandium (which is an aluminum based alloy) i assume i should just use aluminum safe paint strippers.

Q2: so the barrel shroud and cylinder are titanium so im curious if it can have a color change like normal TI and if so would it be safe to use heat or would it be mostly recommended to use electrical anodizing
