How to make white again??
How to make white again??
I have this RC 10 and would like to see it I can bleach the pink parts white again or maybe die a different color to make it look better without them turning out an off color.. Will this be trouble or not???

Re: How to make white again??
Once you dye the patrs thats it they will never be white again. You can use a peroxide bath to get white parts whiter but I havn't tried it . You can also go with black dye to cover up the pink.
Re: How to make white again??
I was thinking of doing black just to cover the pink.Not my first choice in colors!!! I wish when I got this the guy that built it would of left it white..

Peroxide soak takes some of the pink out but not all of it.Then dye it black.If dont try take some out you get a redish weird black look.DON ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

x4 on the body color. gotta agree with the pink. Dye it again and make it a sharp pink again.
On a side note...is that front tower aluminum or painted blue?

I see the tally is 120 votes for pink but I vote -1 against.
I don't have anything against pink per se, but I don't think it looks good with the orange pinstriping on the body....which +1, does look real nice.
If it were my car I'd try to dye the parts orange or blue to cover over the pink.
