There's an Instructables article on DIY color-changing paint over here... it sounds like a simple enough process, and thermochromatic pigment tins are cheaper than the ready-to-use acrylics that a google search turned up. If anyone actually tries this, please be sure to share your results!

Thank you that's very cool! Maybe I will be brave and try the full restore.

It has been done at least once. JPP (who sadly passed away) restored a Windy. Unfortunatly, the thread was on the old Arena but I found this on her customs FaceBook page.

She what?
Why?

Oh my...
I'm so incredibly sad to hear that. Thanks for letting me know.
Do we have a in memoriam of her somewhere where I can pay my respects? :'(

I don't really know, sorry. There was a thread in Off-Topic, but it's locked due to being old - http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,398796.0.html

I have her Facebook if you'd like me to PM it to you.

Sadly I haven't seen any thermochromatic paints (even as pigments) that turn from color to transparent :(

If anyone wants to give this a go, there are pigments that go from color to colorless on Amazon (that one's a sampler) and Etsy. A pretty quick search turned up a lot of possibilities -- just be sure to read the descriptions thoroughly to avoid the pigments that change from one color to another.

Okay... I definetely have had the wrong search terms! Thank you!

For the Nurse Ponies "Red" would be the thing to go and for the Magic Message Ponies Red (Cuddles, Mirror Mirror, Magic Hat - probably a  tad too red), Dark Green (Windy and Floater) and Deep Blue (Cloud Dreamer). I give them a try for sure!

Sorry for the tone in my post there! I only knew what to look for because of a past project. :P

All very handy, thank you! I'm sure a lot of us will have MMs that will need looking after.
