I got my rpm worlds parts in yesterday and i had today off work so i decided to do aome wet sanding on the chassis and towers... After sanding the front tower it seems as though i have sanded off the black like it was dyed? Is this possable and if soo what is the procedure? Same as dyig nylon? Cause it looks pretty crappy like it is

Yes should dyeable like nylon with rit or something equivalent. Some fiberglass is tough to dye but some works great.

I have dyed shock towers black, it just takes a long time to soak up the dye, much longer than nylon.

Ok cool ill try it when i dye the rest of my parts... Hopefully my local hobby ahop can get me a re re bulkhead and steering bellcranks and rear mounts... I have just about everything else i need now... Just spend $120 for shock shafts b44 axles and a bunch of blue alum parts for it...

If you have to sand the edges or something do it ahead of time, because you can expose the natural color if the dye doesn't penetrate very deep. Obviously it wasn't a problem because the screw head covered, but I've had this happen when I countersunk holes in a dyed shock tower.
