i did some retrobright in the last 2 years on Some PC cases that were yellow, buttons, and SB livedrive, floppy drives, keyboards, mouses
I have used salon cream 40%, also used hydrogen peroxide liquid 50%
And while it worked and looked great, in all cases after 10 months or so the plastic yellowed again. (this happened with everything, pc cases, mouses, keyboards, etc) and leaving the stuff on a room without sunlight, and some stuff was even covered. in the dark
things got worse because when it yellowed again you can see the traces on the plastic.
Also retrobright can cause a marble effect if you leave the stuff for a long time. and it can even create white marks where the tuves for the screws touch the front plastic.
its bad. to the point i wish i haven´t done it.
So how dificult is it to create a mold of an AT case front plastic, and replicate using good plastic? Paint is not good as i have not found a paint color that matches the original color, most of the paint is white like a wall.
