Anno question

[gophermcse]

I have recently endeavored to learn the art of anno. I have gotten some pretty good results on single color anno so far but have yet to figure out how to get a good fade. Right now I'm contemplating airbrushing dye onto the porous anno surface. I have read in a couple of places that you can dye the part and then use a weak bleach solution to leach the color off of the part you want faded. Anyway, this board has always impressed me with its mostly accurate and friendly attitude, so I put the question to the masses and see what turns up.

I don't know a thing about Anno. But I will give this and UP so someone more knowledgeable may read it an answer.

From other people's experience, ano done at home is very expensive and very frustrating.

Single colors CAN be done but beyond that it gets a lot more difficult.

Single color fades are done by immersing the part so that the section that is in the dye first stays in longer than the last section that goes into the dye tank.

Good luck!

While doing the dye dipping slow process I end up with a line not the smooth fade that I was looking for. As for single color, I got that going good. :D

As you know, currently nobody sells a colored Powerlyte kit that I know of.
