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???

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.

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..

Love the paint scheme ion that shell

I kinda like how it looks in pink myself!

I know this won't work for dyed parts,but I had some front arms for my TQ/Graphite that had been painted black....I took them to work today and used the glass beader to clean the paint off....it was set at about 20-25 psi....It worked great...pictures coming soon...lunch is calling

the before



Finished ..... just have to givem the peroxide bath to make em whiter

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Pink = Old School I would just give them another run thru pink to bring them back to life.

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

I say dye them hot pink again and keep the shell, would look killer with the Hot Pink Revtech decals

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?

X 5 on the body. Thats right up my alley.

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.

Well I guess the X's have it!!! I will leave it the way it is.. Its just going to be a dust collector from here on out anyway.
LOL
I think its died blue!?
