Now that I have a mix of shiny new OEM "clear" plastic and nasty old yellow plastic reservoirs in my engine bay, has anybody had any success getting them to match a little better? First step, obviously, was to soak the old stuff in dawn and hit it with a scotch brite. That made it look a LOT better, but they still (rightfully) look like they came from two different time periods.
I know it might be counterintuitive to make new stuff look old, but has anybody found any methods that work well? I did find an interesting article on a guitar website here that gave me some ideas for the new stuff.
This is not my photo, but it does a good job highlighting the difference in appearance:
