Looking for sunfaded G1 MLP images!
« on: May 07, 2012, 01:01:27 PM »
 Hey everypony!
I’m sorry if this has already been posted (I did have a wee look through previous posts) but I was looking for before and after images of G1 ponies that have been sunfaded? Successfully or unsuccessfully please!
 Thank you! :)

I'll post pictures of all of them when they're done. Argie Gingerbread was restored and had her ears/horn repainted. The dark colour you see on her horn and ears in the last image is the colour she was. She was painted to match her exact colour, so you can see what a huuuge difference it is compared to the rest of her! Although people say not to sunfade cancer ponies, German Starshine has had no issues with it. She's so much whiter than the icky greyish pinkish colour she arrived to me in. Pony in the end is an Italy Firefly who had a pink saddle on her for god knows how long, but she was also in a window. She's pretty light except for where the saddle was so I'm trying to just make her all white. She's lightened a lot since I've had her. :P


About 5 minutes ago:
The flash was on, so they're a tiny bit whiter than they really are. Not too far off, though.
I've added my new favourite prototype pony onto the sunfading window since she could definitely use it. She's a bit more yellow than she appears to be here.

 Wow they are fantastic! Worth the work!
 How are you going to go about getting rid of the pink patches? Will you just continue to sunfade? :)

Yup, just going to keep her in the window as long as it takes! She's barely lightened, but it's at least noticeable enough for me to know to continue. I'm not the most patient person, but I am when it comes to sunfading. It's just such an awesome thing to see a that once looked yellowed and sad, become brand new again! :cheer:



Relllll where are youuu? This thread needs your amazing ponies. :heart: :heart:

I've done a lot of sunfading, but I can never get good before and after pictures that really show the difference. I'd like to see better pictures than mine too!

I've got one that turned out great:
 
Starshine before (this is actually a month or two after she was put out, the marker was a lot darker):

I've got Majesty in my window right now. Here in rainy Seattle it takes quite a while since we don't get a lot of sun (and what we do get is not super strong!). Starshine was in my window for about a year (though I did start her in the fall, so maybe it woudl have been just as effective just during the summer). Majesty also started in the fall and she has been there all winter, and I can see a difference but I think this summer is what will really brighten her up.
 
I've only ever done white ponies. I tried to brighten a Sherbert pony (purple) and it didn't really work. Are there only some colors that work or don't work in the sun (for those of you who have lots of experience)?

These were the last two I took pictures of - I need to see if I have any befores for my recent ones and I probably ought to take a couple of shots of my sunfading mishaps.

I thought you couldn't sunfade dark colored ponies because it faded all the color from them? But that Baby Ribbs looks just great!

I have a G3 Snowflake with highlighter marks I was afraid to sunfade... maybe I'll give it a shot?
