Title: Pink Topre caps
Post by: tokidokijake on Tue, 31 March 2015, 15:53:15
Anyone have any idea where these can be found? I've searched high and low and had no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

They have been out of production for a while now.  Topre also seems to have little interest in producing new sets.

Maybe one day we'll have some step up and fill the market, but for now, Nada.

Your best bet is hunting them down via classifieds or ebay and probably pay $130+

White/beige/light grey caps + iDye Poly is your best bet.

Pink caps for Topre? They wouldn't be shaped like little boobs, would they? Seems appropriate in light of the description some have used for what it feels like to type on a Topre.

I wonder if they grey colored caps would come out a slightly different color with the dye or not.

They will.  You can try to mitigate that by dying the white ones longer or adding a hair of grey iDye poly powder to the mix.  It was different between my mods and alphas with purple.

I see everything through rose-tinted glasses, so all my caps are pink.
