Yup, you absolutely can't do it. And no, bleach does NOT work.

What do you guy's prefer? Dyed or not dyed white parts?

I'm piecing together a RC 10 for a shelf queen. The buggy will be on it's way in a few days. The parts look OK from the pics but some may be a little beat up. I think I can whiten them up with...

Yes, it's definitely a matter of choice. I can appreciate box art cars with beautiful new white parts just as well as I appreciate people who go their own way and dye parts to their preference. I've dyed parts on numerous occasions to produce the...

I've just taken delivery of an Ebay purchase consisting of a Cougar 2 and pretty much all the parts for a Cougar 1. :)

The 2 has off-white eccentrics and front uprights. Were these anything special/unusual as I've not seen them before?

Last post

Check the thread. I think he has the same uprights and hubs but not the actual cougar pictured, right?

I think its the same car that Groomi has used as an example :wink:

Does anybody know a way to re-white dyed plastic parts?
Black seems to me not possible, but what about the lighter colours like yellow, orange, etc...? Any suggestions :?:

Last post

If I remember correctly, Charlie Don't Surf didn't want to post his method publicly because he didn't want ebay chop shops figuring it out. If you send him a PM he might be able to help you.

Is acetone safe to use on white plastic parts? I have a white stealth tranny case and a white rear bulkhead that have what appears to be CA glue on them. I've read about using acetone to remove the glue from old, worn out tires and plastic wheels....

Thanks for the help! :D

I've seen a few posts about using krylon fusion and I have seen some posts using other ones.
Does anyone have specific recommendations that match up with associated white parts? There are quite a few shades of white in krylon.

Holy smokes!! Wish I'd gone to that school. None of my teachers were that hot. :shock:

Hi guys. New around here.

in retrospect i should have looked a few threads down and i would have found the response.

Thank you for your help and not slapping my wrist for not having looked properly through the thread list :mrgreen:
