Tried dying NES Zappers (now a project thread)
jdbailey1206:
Definitley go with the vinyl dye. Rit Dye is meant to adhere to a clean white surface. When you go to dye a color on top of another color it just comes out poor. Since the Zapper will not have any moving parts you should see no cracking on the surface.

Seriously, **** Rit dye. It left me with two very nice warped reminders of when i should stop over modifying something that works. (just view my build thread).
...I think i'll turn them into Christmas tree ornaments.
thatpurplestuff:
Just used Krylon Fusion paint (Patriotic Blue and Pepper Red) to do the outer shells and they look great! The paint went on really nicely and I think they're going to look fantastic when dry. One thing I'm slightly concerned about is I think the acetone messed up at least one of the threads of the shell I tried to dye. If it's a big problem I can grab another zapper for ~$10, but I'll see once these are fully dry.
Thanks for the advice everyone... will post pics when I get a chance!
