Will we be seeing Blue-Grass Fade maybe??? :o
Close, I have a Mazda 6. Also, have a cold air intake sitting in my living room for it. I just gotta get some time to get under the hood.
The teal fade was to see how close to a mint color I can get. I was asked for a mint, but the tricky part is you can not add white dye to a color. Since no white anodizing exists. So I was experimenting with the length of time to get a lighter color. I think it needs more green for a mint color. So maybe tomorrow I will try that out.
Some sort of simple motor and a rig to hold the yoyo = perfectly smooth gradients. The motor would pull the yoyo out of the bath (or submerge it) at a constant gradual rate.
Just thinkinā aloudā¦
Is it possible to do each half of each half in a different colour? For example yellow bottom blue top. I think I would be good way to make cool āin motionā colours if itās technically possible.
Are you able to do splash color ways?
I believe heās still experimenting with solid colors.
Manā¦ That would be one sweet fadeā¦
Of course itās possible
Itās a very easy thing to do, just dip both sides half and half in the dye.
Been a while since new fade yoyoās have shown up.
Hi guys,
Been a little while again. I always feel like I should be getting more done in less time. But when you do free projects like this they donāt tend to have the same high priority as paid jobs. Anyway, I have been playing around with acid splashing. My first results are promising, but not perfect. I learned a lot this first try and I think the next one will come out even better. But you want to see the pictures, donāt you. lol

A few notes. This is my very first attempt as splashes. I donāt think I let the rubber cement dry enough, before bleaching them, so some of the color faded or mixed. I then redid it and let the cement dry longer and that got the crisp lines between colors. But because I couldnāt clean the part off 100% some of the colors are still messed up. Also, this still has the rubber cement on it. I plan on cleaning the yoyo, and stripping and re-anodizing them again tonight. So you can see some of the cement in some pictures.
As for doing a half and half yoyo that is actually much easier than acid splashing. You can also do something similar with a vinyl decal which I would like to try sometime.
Looking forward to your comments.

The splash is very impressive considering itās your first attempt, I can barely spot any flaws on it. Iād love to see a half and half fade in the future also.
Oooh I like the color and my that looks cool!!!
I like but for some reason I like fhe grey ones next to the one you did. It looks like its SODA BLASTED :o
Looks good.
Hey if you want you can put a splash on my yoyo instead I the teal I wanted :). If you do just surprise me with the colors.
i got my yoyo back from him a few days ago and i would have to say i am pleased. While it didnāt come back perfect, it was good for an experiment. I would for sure recommend him if youāre looking to get something annodized.
