dyeing slikstik translucent balltops

<< < (3/4) > >>

horseboy:
It is light green, and I would like to make it dark green. Thanks for the tips.

ahofle:
I'm just curious...has the dye stood up to a good amount of joystick use?  Just wondering if it eventually ends up wearing off or if it's pretty much permanently embedded in the plastic?

Wienerdog:
This won't change the color of metal at all.  It also doesn't work on regular plastic.  The dye works with nylon parts (if I remember correctly from my RC car days).  I tried this on white T-Molding last year and it doesn't do anything to it.  The material has to absorb the dye. 

juggle50:
huh, well it works great on the slikstik balltops.  I don't know what kind of plastic they are made out of.  I did it over a month ago and the dye has not worn off at all.  Only time will tell, but it feels like it's going to be pretty permanant.

waldo:
wow, great tip, was not looking forward to white ball tops on my green CP
