Author Message   Bsharp Username: Bsharp Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2005 - 1:57 am:    The bindings on my 1979 Iceman PS10 have turned a rich custard yellow color except for a small section where the body meets the neck which is a darker rust color. Is there any way that I can lighten the color so that its more consistent? Some plastics become darker if left in the dark too long, will more exposure to daylight help?   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2005 - 10:16 pm:    Bsharp, that's called 'vintage patina'. :-)   Skybone Username: Skybone Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 6:09 am:    Both my 78 IC200 and my 79 2619 have it, I wouldn't worry. It's a sign of aging (like going grey ).   Bsharp Username: Bsharp Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 10:48 am:    Thanks for your comments. Yes, "vintage patina" sounds much more appropriate than "yellowing with age". I shall use it when I start to go grey.
