I would like to duplicate, only with a more permanent finish, the blue
translucent finish, some graded bolts have.  Apparently, the bolt
manufactures use some sort of dye, but any handling and it comes right off.
I took one this evening and put it to a buffing wheel and the result looks
like regular polished steel.

Is there some way to finish metal (steel) so that it looks like chrome, only
with a color?  What I'm thinking of, is something like anodized aluminum.

TIA
