Its a good read. Fred did a set of rims on his tuber that sparked my interest.

chromed plastic can take a dye pretty well, i've read that its hit and miss, some chromed plastic takes a dye very well, and some don't. i've done 2 sets of axial beadlocks with good results.   i've also dyed quite a bit of white plastics in my day, I don't have any examples of that right now though. it says in the write up but i'll say it again, use a pot or something you plan to throw out, last time I did it I used a good one and we had green rice for dinner, it is now my dedicated "dying pot" since she doesn't want to cook with it anymore. also if you splash some on the stove/counter/floor. clean it up imediatly, it will stain. good luck, and happy dying Last edited by fred0000; 03-08-2011 at 10:18 PM. | |

dyeing is a lot of fun. I dyed every piece of gray plastic on my traxxas rustler black and it look great!! really hot water and not skimping on the dye is key!!
