Is it possible to dye the case of an AT Model F?
« on: Sun, 15 December 2013, 13:24:51 »
I know the plastic is a bit different than that of an M (which as far as I know cannot be effectively dyed), curious if it is possible on an AT F.

Please give it a try and let us know.

My guess is that if there were any nicks in the "skin" layer, that the glossy core material would take dye differently.
