Finally found a CCII, I think my AIO conquests are complete unless a Lisa rears her head in Australia

Pictures?  These are uncommon in the US.

Congrats on snagging a CCII!  It's definitely my favorite of the compacts and they're great machines in stock form.  Does your badge actually say "Colour Classic II" or is it the standard American spelling "Color Classic II"?

i recieved a colour classic badge in a bag with a color classic once.  Never seen a CCII in person yet.

That is a beautiful job brightening up the case!

What method did you use ?
Posted by: Tomburke74 on 2018-01-29 12:56:00
Hydrogen Peroxide creme dev 40, clear wrap and approx. 20-30 mins in the sun rotating every couple of minutes.

It looks great. Where are you located? Somewhere with strong sun? I've had some trouble with the sun in the great northwoods of the US.

Queensland - Australia, so sunshine isn't in short supply. Personally I do prefer to do it late in the afternoon or on an overcast day and give it a few hours as there is a reduced chance of bleaching the plastic
