[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3441622, member: 43126"] I moved ahead and tried the Perma Blue, since I had it on hand. It definitely darkened it noticeably, but after 8 coats, it’s still not to my standards. I may need to try Super Blue to get it where I want to. Is the Super Blue noticeably better than Perma Blue, worth my time/money? Or would I just be wasting my time? At first I tried heating the area with my heat gun (was still cool enough to touch). I saw the heating method on a couple other forums/videos, although the bottle directions said nothing about heat, others said this is “the only way to go”. It almost looked as though it was baking it off, so I let it cool to room temperature and tried again. With no heat applied, it seemed to work much better. Any thoughts? Ideas? Concerns? [/QUOTE]
