I'm soon to be the owner of a slightly discolored Confetti (my very first G1!), and I was wondering if she was alright to sunfade? I've searched around the arena, and I've seen her come out with mixed results. I'd hate to damage her, though.If she is sunfade-able, what's the best way to cover her symbol since it's glittery?

I faded my Parasol and her glitter didn't fade. But, over time, the sun could surely have a negative effect on glitter, so: I'd say cover her butt with saran wrap and color over her symbols with black sharpie.
If sunfading isn't viable for Confetti, you might try testing the bottom of a hoof with a benzyl peroxide acne cream? For a lot of people acne cream is the very last resort because it is risky, but if she's super discolored or it works on the bottom of a hoof you might consider it.
Thank you, hathorcat! If that's the case I think I'll just leave her, then.

If a Magic Eraser doesn't help, I'll test out the acne cream!
I just got baby Quackers for free. She is has a disgusting orange tinge to her and 5 cancer spots. Does anyone have any suggestions? If not I think I will try...1. Magic Eraser - evened the colour and toned down the yellowing to a cream but no effect on cancer spots2. Acetone... watch this space3. Sunfading4. Full body re-paint. Her hair is lovely.

I'm currently sunfading another Italian Gusty and this was so much easier than trying to cut out little maples leaves to cover her symbols with. I did test out coloring on saran wrap with the sharpie first to make sure it didn't bleed though (I'm paranoid about sharpies near ponies), but of course it worked. Except for a tiny spot I pushed too hard and made a tiny hole in the saran wrap, so I was super careful and gentle when coloring over the actual symbol on the pony. Just thought I'd warn others about that!
^ Yeah this is great advice. Only problem now is... how can we make the clouds go away in SE England!
