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.

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.

I'm going to start restoring a couple of rc10's soon. One has the C stamp on the back but has white plastics (which doesn't match the C stamped car in the 25 years of rc10 thread...so i'm not sure what edition it is), and...

Last post

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:

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

What is the best method you guys have found to freshen up the looks of the white plastic parts?

Last post

Guy's thanks for sharing! I really need try some of these out. 1 question though... approximately how long do you boil your parts in the bleach bath?
