You put them in the oven
Is that true? I have an L2M that I'd love to goldify like that. I could just remove the dropin, switch, o-rings, and lens so it's nothing but the shell.

Any specifics? Temperature? Time?

I said that because Alexis stated one time about putting in the oven--not sure about the temp though

Re: The 2015 Lounge

Well I found this on the "Show Your Solarforce" thread:

It was a standard black l2, took al the guts out and tucked it in the oven on broil mode. (High temperatures make the color of the annodizing change)
Kept it in for 15 minutes or so, color changed to dark chocolate, so put it back in, and did that for several 10 minute sessions. Total for an hour or so to reach this copper like color. iPhone pic makes it little lighter than it really is. Its a nice coppery color, wanted that to accompany my western outfit.

Here is a pic of his light:

LumKTC, is that a baked Solarforce Gladiator on the left of the top pic? With the big accessory head? That looks really great!

Calm down!! ok,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please read what I said! As I was quoting him[at that instant his answer was JUST NO!] By the time my quote was processed[a few seconds] he had edited his answer.

This is petty bs!!

Stuff like THIS causes unnecessary conflict when other people should really mind there own business!

P.S. DON'T CALL ME DUDE,,,,,,PAL!!!
