Check out the gallery pics on THE X-MAN's website. Pretty sure he has some Ti02s pictured. Some other pretty amazing custom finishes to gawk at while you're at it, too

I've seen those and they're awesome. What's makes them classified as a Ti02? What does it mean?

Ti02 is Titanium Dioxide. My guess is that is just the name of the finish to differentiate from the Oakley titanium finish, but someone else would have to back me up on that.

Plasma/fire was my first Juliet (12 years ago) and I still have her as my wife would never let me sell her. She needs a little Xman love but still pretty good shape. Enjoy but be careful the Juliet fever is worse than Scarlet fever.

TiO2 is a common tool finish, it's an oxidized titanium compound. Like rust in steel, but not nearly the same result.

Items that use TiO2 such as tool bits have this two-tone look. Not sure 100% why, but the two tone thing isn't Oakley unique.

And titanium dioxide is a common white pigment for things like sunscreen.

Totally legit and looking sweet.

To elaborate on the TiO2, x-metals do the two-tone by having x-metal color on the nosebridge and earstems and plasma on the orbitals. There are customs out there where they reverse the two-tone and / or use carbon finish instead of x-metal finish, among other things.

Hope you enjoy them!

Thanks all! I got them for 330 bucks which isn't a bad price at all.

Yeah man! Now all you have to do is trade in all those ugly a$$ 2nd Gen Valves and get some more Metals!

Ti02 simply means 2 different titanium finishes

Ha ha! I hydro dipped those and sold them! The valves really got no love at all. No likes to any of my posts while wearing them. ;-)
