Topic: How to prevent color fading when acetone vapor smoothing?

I'm using colorants/pellets from 3D supply source and I tried vapor smoothing one, but it faded extremely badly. How do I prevent this?

Top is after smoothing, bottom is the same color before smoothing.

Re: How to prevent color fading when acetone vapor smoothing?

perhaps try a urethane based masterbatch? all i can really think of.
pretty sure that copper masterbatch is abs based.
