If it occurs naturally then ok but to add the effect its kinda cheezy IMO.

A lot of titanium exhausts have that look.

PS:

I have done this it is not hard, i was going to repeat whats in the linked thread, the key is testing! Try it on a spare tip, the heat margin of error is very slim from bronzish to blue* and too much will give you faded blue.

I don't understand the reasoning. A bit much of a poser look

Once you go blue, naught else shall do.











At least, I think that's how it goes....

Thanks for the responses guys. And yeah I don't know what Capt_bj was trying to show us, lol. It would be smart to test it on on some spare tips Bigprfed22, great idea. Could we see a shot of yours?

I'll probably end up doing this soon, will post with updates.

Tried to find pics and couldnt find any since they were from my s2000 days. i found one where you can barely see the difference. I went to hot so the tips were a faded blue , did too much heating as well.





You can see the discoloration on the tip but its a little un clear(only pic i could find). I did this 1st time and in 20 minutes. The torch i got from advance auto and i think i definitely rushed it when i could have taken my time.
