    Default G1 Scourge restoration

    I was commissioned to restore a G1 Scourge back to a better state. I cleaned it up, disassembled him and gave the severely sun-faded pieces a hydrogen peroxide bath. I used 9% strength but I'm thinking I may have got better results with 12%. The sun fading is still slightly visible, but I'm sure you'll agree it's a huge improvement from what it was to start with.

    Interesting to note that the hydrogen peroxide did not effect the rub sign at all! Still works like new.

    I finished the job with a fresh set of stickers from reprolabels.com.

    Nice work.
    Can you get the higher concentration of peroxide readily at the chemist?

    Yeah, I've seen 6%, 9% and 12% in the hair section of Chemist Warehouse.
