How can I change the shade of white on the pick guard to make it look older?

I know of a way to tint plastic parts, such as pickup covers and knobs but it doesn't work for pickguards (and the tremolo tip). It turns out that their made of a different type of plastic.

The only thing I can think of, is that your gonna have to buy one, cream, mint or whatever your into.

leave your guitar where sunshine will hit it. and eventually, the plastic will age. but be careful that the place doesn't get too hot, cause that can $@!& up the guitar. just like in a good cool room that gets some sunshine.

A luthier actually told me to put it in some coffee for a while...

But go for a Columbian bean for best tone...

Just order a parchment colored one. wdmusic.com probably has it.
