Pink pup cover dimarzio

[kpollock9]

So i bought a dimarzio 3 pack of the pink covers for single coils... they are WAY bright than my pink dimarzio PAF PRO humbuckers. I read on the back that the colour pigments fade when exposed to intense light. SO MY QUESTION IS would it work if i stuck one of the covers under a light until it fades? haha.

You'd have to shove it underneath a pretty powerful bulb but yeah it would work, might need to leave it there for quite a while though.

they are also a different finish, gloss as opposed to matt.
they wont ever look exactly the same colour.
DiMarzio use the same amount of pigment for the colouring but the gloss finish makes them very different.

Hmm... do they make them the same as they used to?

I compared my middle pup of my jem and they look the same except for the color.

DiMarzio uses a different plastic supplier for the covers, compared to the bobbins. I had a set of pink humbuckers last year that were "faded" looking right out of the box, but the set I ordered just recently are a much closer match to the single cover.

You can leave the single cover outside to see if the UV rays will fade it, but I can't say how close you will get to your humbuckers.

I left one in the sun all day today and put tinfoil around it... by the end of the day i could see a difference between that one and the rest... should prolly take a few days more to get a better result
