Sounds like a good sticky if it works out.

Actually I tried it. I'll be honest it was my first attempt at dyeing anything and it really didn't turn out as planned. I should have raised the plastic off the bottom of the pan. The plastic warped and shrink in areas. I had to dremil areas to get the trigger and trim switches to fit again. I used one box black and one box purple. It came out looking like it was burned in a fire. If you have experiance dyeing you could probably get better results that I did. I'll take pics tomorrow for you. Mostly the paint took the color but if you give it a sanding the plastic is still gray.

Most likely the plastic is to soft to be dyed without warping
