Hello, I want to make my DMG whiter without using paint? I was thinking to bleach the poor thing, is that even possible? I got White Spirit, bleach and turpentine. suggestions?

Thank you

I think if anything bleaching it would yellow it. I don't have much/any actual experience so take this with a grain of salt. I would recommend trying out the retro bright method first to see how much yellowing that removes, I think you'd be surprised.

That and adding play it loud buttons and screen really make it look darker. I recently did one and it's really white:


Well I guess that's yellow due to crappy lighting. You get the point though.

I think your right about the bleach will yellow the DMG. Thank you. Maybe a silly question: what is "the retro bright method"?

I like the text on the screen of your DMG 0,0. Is there a tutorial for that?

I guess it's actually called 'retr0brite' but here's the link: http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/

a trick i picked up was using a magic eraser bath scrubber. it gets rid of most of the yellow + any sharpie marks.
