Yes - you can see the natural color of the cloth (white-ish) and the dyed resin before this part was trimmed.

The "917" FRP color from back in the was due to the coloration of the resin used (assume it was polyester?) and then the yellowing from age/heat once the part was made. It was really just the natural color of the material.

I'm going to add it to my ever-growing to-do list to order some dyes and do some experimentation... maybe Oliver07r will share some tips?
