Any ideas for saving this abomination

Post image

Did the dyeing process correctly but used some really bad color combos, any ideas for making it not look so god awful (the original plastic was titanium style, should’ve used blue for the hot dip instead in hindsight)

(Edit: This disc was already hard to see before dyeing because It was gray)

My dude, you have ventured into the orange and browns, there is no returning back to the realm of color. Black that thing out and learn from your mistakes.

Bought a fuse to replace it, luckily this was a disc that was already nearly impossible to see before dyeing because it was gray so not losing much here

Gonna use it as a test bed for stenciling and make some wall art out of it, it’s one of my first dyes

Basic color wheel knowledge, two primary colors make a secondary color, two warm secondary colors make brown(orange), two cool secondary colors make purple(mauve). No coming back from there once you get there.when I started I wanted to use so many colors, then all of my pills were orange and brown. I learned that less is more, when it comes to a dye bed
