Unhappy DIY burnt tip help

In preparation of 86fest, i was detailing my frs, wash>clay>klasse AOI>Klasse sealant and Polish my ark grip burnt tip then yeah the burnt tip faded.. looking for shop that can bring it back, or maybe someone can help me out with a blow torch and just DIY it.

I have the same problem for my exhaust! Lol is there a shop that can "reburn" them?? The purple/blue is fading and turning gold/yellowish.

I might just DIY, so far all i have to do is completely polish the tips then burn it until it glows then cooldown.

Question

I am trying to decide between burnt and titanium. Is it fading because it is chemically burnt?
