The purple is sort of interesting on the Milwaukee. I wonder why it would do so and if it would vary among tools

[@HandyBear]

PS: Placing a pan with evaporating acetone so close to a open flame stove was maybe a bad idea.. So if you’re going to do this project, please use an electric stove to be safe.👨‍🔬

Can this be done in bright colors? Like royal blue?

[@HandyBear]

If the plastic is white, yes. Otherwise you can only stain it a darker color (the result will be a mix of the two.

[@mipfer]

Doesnt that change the plastic dimension or tolerances?

[@djilu9916]

not to the point it has any effect on the parts fitting

[@czbaterka]

Why the acetone? Doesn't it evaporate with cooking?

[@ExpandDong420]

It's probably bleaching for the dye already in the plastic so the black can take to it better, that's as close as I can figure at least

[@HandyBear]

It’s to open up the pores of the plastic and make it take in the color better.

[@anonymously241]

How long the colour last? 🥵

[@HandyBear]

Unless you scrape it with a knife it will last forever.

[@The_Internet_Is_Overrated]

This seems like a pretty involved process. Wouldn't it be easier to just buy better tools than try and hide your cheap ones?

[@HandyBear]

The goal wasn't just to hide the cheapness, but rather to showcase how you can conceal a brand's flashy colors to personalize your tools or accessories.

@@HandyBear fair enough. Nice video either way

Is as easy as not being pompous asshole on the internet
