Default Dying delrin

Ok, i searched about 8 pages and could only find how to dye wheels. Is it the same for delrin links? Just ordered some white delrin rods that will turn into my new links, but i want to dye them blue. Some one got a link or can tell me a quick "how to" ?

Yeah, should be the same process. I think Kamikazi did it for one of his rigs... all pink.

Follow the instructions on the box of die. All I ever used to do 15 years ago.

I have dyed white delrin before. Takes a long time IMO though. I did mine black, and it turned out nice. First they turn brown then black. I'd use RIT dye. Takes about 5 times longer than Nylon from my trials

I took your basic size pot and filled it halfway.. brought to a boil... I poured about 1/4 of an 8oz bottle of Rit liquid dye into the boiling water. Put parts in and stirred them.. About 5 mins later, I washed the parts off and here they are

My buddy did blue on his.
