Re: Aging Plastic & Metal Parts ??
I have soaked stark white plastic parts (pickup cover, knobs, switch tip) in coffee for a Strat and a strat copy. It worked pretty well, and it all depends on how "aged" you want something to look.

Can you help me with same details on the process? You sanded the parts before? How much time in coffee? Got same pics?
