i'll give it a shot. hopefully it goes well. i'll post results IF it comes out good.

 

The standard shift knob though does not have the red numbering. Is this an Integra shift knob?

Ps - I hate mine with the leather section.

 

anybody find out the part #?

That's CLEAN!!!

 

oh my god that is so HOT

 

seemingly everyone is to WOW'ed by it to know.......

 

That shift knob is an OEM Honda/Acura Titanium knob, that was subsequently anodized using electrolysis and/or heat.

The color you see formed on the Titanium, is actually the refraction of light, passing through a layer of oxidation on the the titanium's surface.

Obviously these results can be achieved using heat (Amuse exhaust, Invidia exhaust tips), or the electrolysis method... but I'm not sure if an oven will do it.

Testing anyone?

I'm about to receive a Voodoo titanium shift knob, and I intend on anodizing it.

 

HELLO! Well look who it is! It's former president Ronald Reagan, A.K.A
Mr. Titanium!


Mr. Titanium's Anodizing guide

 

Here's some more information for ya'll...

Cooking the Ti knob in a household oven WILL NOT WORK.
If using heat, Titanium begins to oxidize at 620 degrees farenheit.
Even then, it takes a bit moer heat to get the deep blue/purple colors you see on the first post.

So we're down to two methods:
- Electrolysis using an Anodizer and High voltage (dangerous for the DIY imo)
- Heat, using a plumber's torch or high-temp kilm.

I plan on trying the plumber's torch technique on my Ti shift knob.
According to my source, a wide soft flame should be used to achieve an even hue of colors.
Using a focused, pin-point flame will create a high concentration of colors in one small spot, with a rainbow of colors rippling away from it.

Will keep ya'll updated.
