Umm... so it's a... Solar camera??? :?

Haahahaha solar camera -yeah- no i think it might be french :roll: i dont know why, it just decides to decrease greatly in resulation after mid-day, quite anoying.

and how i did it?

well you first got to make sure theres no wac or glue on the inside cos that explodes... then you grab a pair of RUBBER ended plyers, dunk it in methelated spirit
then I held it over the most powerful nob on my gas cooker and got a small chefs blow torch on it till it was red hot all over then i dunked it in water.

Now the important thing to remember is to not get too greedy with the colour cos if you get it red hot too many times it becomes almost like a relic burnt chrome effect, which is how mine ended up.

in precisely 2-3 hours time i'll have a photo for you, cos its still not bright anough yet.

HAHAHA I love the knob levels and categories on your pedal. Hilarious. Wank has to be the best setting I think. That single coil looks cool too.

Different spirits won't make a difference. The colour change is caused but the heat re-arranging the molecular structure of the metal. The Meth's you put on it would have burnt off in an instant.

it's a bit of a bugger you can only do it with tele style single coils and MQs. It's got to be possible to get hold of a metal soapbar casing...
