Distressing a MKVII replica

Post by IndyWannaBee »

Anyone have a link to the MKVII distressing technique instructions? I searched all the different sections of Gear and found nothing. I partially remember the technique but after implementing it on my MKVII replica from WPG I got zero color change. I thinking of testing straight diluted bleach on the areas to distress.

All I ended up with was a wrinkled, bleach smelling MKVII with no color change....! :shock:
