Achieving an even tint in a sheet of white plastic involves proper dyes, skilled application and partial removal.

I've seen alcohol based stains recommended but I haven' tried them. The next thing I'll try is Colron Liquid Scratch Repair liquid and white spirit - I can't find the thread now, but WezV recommended it and he seemed to get good results.

i have tried another brand of scratch cover, but it had the red tint issue that seems common in brown

Because the rest of my guitar is not a relic, I suppose it would look a bit strange if the colour of the scratch plate ended up looking very uneven. Using the Colron, do you think it's going to be more or less impossible to get a fairly uniform colour similar to that photo of the second guitar in my original post?

I find after a few days the Colron scratch cover would be bloody difficult to clean off without a solvent, so that works for me... but you do need to take the shine off the plastic first

this is the same guard today. Its not currently on the guitar because i have used this to make templates for more guards and check spacing of routes on my current les paul builds.
Concerned by the comments that it can just be cleaned off, I just tried to "clean" it whilst doing the washing up... it looks exactly the same.
