I burned one a while ago(stainless steel) and it did not get a lot of color. A little bluish to it but not dark like ti.
I am going to try again but it takes a loooong time to get it to change and a higher temp needed.
If I can make it them it would be the ultimate knob for sure. Super heavy with a ti burnt look.
If I can make it the price would definitely be a bit higher due to the time it will take me to hand burn each one.
I got some polished ones in now as the base finish so I will try to burn a polished one as that should show the color better and see how it looks.

Did some burning today. Not too happy with the results really. I think since it is just thick stainless steel it won't get a nice color really. I did get a really rich gold and some purple out of a polished ball but the brushed ones the color was very faint. Still waiting on the polished one to cool down before checking it out better.
I think since I am using a torch it kind of messes up the surface where it is being heated so the very top of the shift knob looks bad. To work better would need a super hot furnace or something to heat them more evenly.
They keep changing color after I stop heating even when dunked into cold water to cool so hard to stop at the right time. I will keep trying as I know this will be the ultimate shift knob if I can do it.

Polished one looked good at first but once fully cooled not good. Just gold with tint of purple.
Need some TI to mess with!

Well thats good to hear progress is being made! Would it even be worth posting a picture of? Id be interested in seeing a gold/blue one

Would have been. Then it cooled and not so much haha. Think I need to stop heating earlier on and then let it cool as it changes a bit when cooling down still.
