Why not grab the propane torch I thought… Even heat gets you even coloring much faster than the oven. Or you could go for a fade….
You might want to experiment a bit before going at an expensive light although I consider my first attempt a success.
Nice!
I use the gasflames not the oven
And lol that is baking, cooking painted lights with baking soda makes it real easy to remove paint.
I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down. No paint involved and it only works with hard anodizing.
Looks good, and should age well too.
No I got you
You say, instead of oven use a blowtorch.
I merely add that the flames of the kitchenstove can be used as well (I never used the oven) to change the color.
And well since we are talking about baking the flashlights, I added the boiling of painted lights with water and baking soda to get rid of paint. Yes different process but can be handy to know.

And this painted light came
After boiling and some polishing
Wassup!
Well, looking after some information regarding some kind of non-abrasive chemical procedure to remove paint off a couple of flashlight heads, and found this.
So all I have to do is immerse the painted metal piece in a pot filled with enough water and baking soda, and boil it? How much baking soda? 
Cheers ^:)

Any more fl backing recipe?
I may have a few that could use a bit of cosmetic lift… :smiling_imp:
Has anyone here tried baking a green flashlight? Like the Convoy S2+.

When you bake it in the oven, you never know if the parts will match afterwards.
I was hoping for a 504B set to come out but the ends and the middle just didn’t match.
Maybe the flame treatment will resolve it. Got a new torch the other day. Sounds like a project.
Sorry Barkuti, missed your question.
I did not measure it,just a couple of table spoons in a 2 liter pan.
as much water to cover it all and then just cook it for several hours.
Left it standing over night and scraped off soe paint in the morning, then thought it could be easier to just cook it some more so I did.
The issue with a flame thrower seems to me getting an even tint
Just above the flames of gascooker on low maes it change slowly and even.
All parts in view so fairly easy to get them off the flames at desired color.
I remember somebody making a bright color S2 a different color,more metal platinum, beautiful
Yes I saw that one during my baking research, but green I couldn’t find.
I guess I have to order one and see for myself. Need an S2+ to try out the TIR optics anyways.
