Sunfading question

[daisyd]

So I have a pony I want to sunfade...but in a 'normal' manner!

I have a G1 Sunspot (see through plastic with glitter) that I'd like to fade so that she's a little less orange and a bit more clear. Does anyone know how long that kind of fading might take please?

Oh yikes...you will need to be careful that you dont discolour her unfortunately. Because she is transparent she will have a colour additive in her plastic rather than actual coloured polymer so it works a little different. Her colour may fade out or she may become more opaque or she may discolour to a completely different shade. Unfortunately this is one you will need to monitor as you go - you will no doubt find different results for different ponies from different people.

Thanks for that link sd dreamcrystal - didn't know that about tinsel on the left hand side.

Daisy, this is a picture of a Star Dancer I have been sunfading. It's been in the window for about 3 months. Beware!visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Star, maybe you can give her a light dye bath? I'd do it more on the inside though than the outside, though I did hear you can cover the eyes and symbols with I guess hot glue to keep the dye off those spots.. never tried it myself

Oh I want her to go pale! I have an unintentional Star Dancer army. They are led by this cool dude with the mullet.

I was hoping to recreate the mystery of the green Star Dancers, but no dice.
