          ah thanks.

          Sorry if its been covered, what is anodization? whats the difference between none, black, and clear, from an appearance/wear point of view? what is the purpose of it?

          And can we not get them with a rounded top like dan gillans? nor can we get them in the silver color?

              i still don't see the purpose? All i got from the FAQ is that its a method of coloring/refinishing metal.

              What purpose does it actually have? if you're refinishing it with CLEAR anodization, then ... thats not really coloring the metal.

              what has been done to this : http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg

              vs: http://myweb.cableone.net/crtolson/k...t/pict0028.jpg

              cause they look different.

                  those are the same knob, any difference in appearance caused by photographic factors. You asked about anodizing, hence why i posted the link so you could learn a little about what anodizing is.

                    Anodizing is something to make shit look cool, thats about it. Clear anodizing would give it more of a dull appearance and would look somewhat different than not anodizing it. As far as his knobs, he was offering round and flat tops, but most opted for the flat top.
