    Try using a heat gun to keep them looking black.
    For the love of God, please read the rules

    Yeah, a blast with a heatgun works. Just don't rub them when the plastic is hot.

    I'm not winding you up here but peanut butter works too. Smear it on then wipe it off. The oil in the nuts do the same thing as back to black.
