It looks cool to me. I used a bronze sharpie. I might try a paint marker next, as it will take better. I know this will wear off, but it’s still cool. It’s like a new trick. I grinded the sharpie. And then did a finger grind with the sharpie. ---

it’s all good until your hands are black for a week. ---

Actually… I just used it for about 10 minutes. The bronze finish wore of in places, but it didn’t show on my hands. Perhaps black would on another color, but I can’t test that It’s a very small amount that gets on the yoyo really. In liu of the fact that the some finish wears off in 10 minutes, I am inclined to call this a new trick. A sharpie grind. I might experiment more with it in that way. Could be a cool idea… if you get over the mess… ---

it looks a lot like one of the square wheels finishes… quite possible they used a similar dye technique on those. ---

Like, using ano stripper while spinning the yoyo? Honestly that’s a good idea, though maybe the yoyo isn’t supposed to spin fast otherwise it will splatter everywhere. ---

Looks pretty cool.
