wasnt there a thread on burning your own knobs a while back and nobody seemed to be able to get it done with good results??????? then someone posted a pic of an oem ti knob just like yours with the color and all but it was like 200 plus from honda and very very hard to find???? yours looks great. did u just burn it from the top and work your way down applying less heat to get the "fade"????? i bought an arc knob and it faded as well so now i wanna try it to my ti knob since im not a fan of the round knob
when i applied the heat, i moved it around in a circular motion at the top of the knob. once that got to my desired color, i did the sides. the gold comes first, then a reddish-purple, then you the dark blue and a light blue. i just kept adding and removing heat til i decided on the color i wanted. if you dont like the color, just buff it off and retry.
