Seat - Dodgy Plastic or it's meant to be like it?

(1/7) > >>

Paulo:

I thought my search for a grey aero seat had come to an end when I won this off the US bay not realising it's got this weird marbling effect on it.

It's all over the seat, and it's not just a surface pattern, it's imbedded.

The seller tells me that it's meant to be like that...I'm not so sure.

Does anybody know if it should be like this, or is it duff?

MartyC:
Looks like damp or moisture ingres.  Might be worth dropping into a large pot of simmering water to see if that helps.  Are you hoping to keep it that colour or dye it black?

Paulo:

I want to keep it that colour. I've been after a grey seat for ages. I tried dying a white seat but just didn't work.

Would moisture ingres look embedded? How does hot water help?

The plastic is porous so hot water would pass through eventually, if it's engrained dirt or discoloration through damp it might clear it out; using bleach might help but I have no idea what that might do the colour.  Just a thought  :-\ .
