dyeing slikstik translucent balltops
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
