You can re-paint it. There aren’t that many mods for certain Yo-Yos. ---

It means that you put the each side of the the yoyo on a lathe, turn on the lathe and use a sharp tool to shave the recess EVEN deeper. After you’ve done that on both sides, you have a deeper recess which allows for siliconing the yoyo. ---

I know Mr. J modded a throwmonkey, but I don’t remember exactly what he did to it. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you asked him though. ---

I did the Chunky Monkey mod with a silicone recess and I slightly cut to around to bearing seat so it would take a Hspin/SPYY size bearing. (the yoyos it is compared to are a Project and a Bolt) I used a drill, a file, and some different size screwdrivers. Simply put, it plays amazing and the mod went really well.
