Thread: Remove/Alter red accents?

    Default Remove/Alter red accents?

    Hey guys,

    I just purchased this hilt and need some advice.

    IMHO it just looks weird with that shiny red accents, so I'd like to remove/change that.
    I'd be ok with it if the hilt would be heavily weathered.

    I was told that when I use some kind of stripper the anodizing is ruined.
    Sending it back to the original creators, to get the coating removed and the saber weathered costs around 500$.

    What would be your suggestion? Is there no other way?

    Just trying to get other opinions before paying that much

    It would cost that much because all the electronics would have to be removed and re-installed. And that would be your best bet, unless you’re ready to live with the look of the hilt as-is.

    Do you want to remove all of the red? It seems a bit odd to buy such a saber of you don't like it. Perhaps a better option would be to sell it and buy a more standard version, of which there are very many.

    Pure acetone will remove most powder coating
