Can you dye colored wheels?

Quote

Post by sschering » Thu Jan 15, 2015 4:54 pm

I have a set of the world's car yellow buggy wheels and I'd like to make them a bit more green to match a color scheme.

Will that work or should I just start with white wheels?

You can go darker, but remember your combining colors and the one your dyeing will darken after you remove it. I like to run mine under cold tap water to stop the process.

Anyone tried? I have some blue parts that would be great if they were black......dunno if they can be dyed though once they have color blended in them.

I dyed some fluorescent yellow RPM 10T parts black and they took the dye quickly.

Hi,

Has anyone tried dyeing Schumacher 3 spoke wheels? If so any advice on how well it works and what brand dye to use. I want to dye a set of NIB wheels black for the carbon tub project car.

Cheers,

Ian

Last post

It works :-)
The Yokomo wheels dyed better than the Schumacher wheels, but they look like a different kind of plastic. Trying some glass fibre bits at the moment to see what happens.

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post to the forum since I am not typically active in contributing to any social media sites but I have enjoyed this forum for a long time, been inspired by the creativity I have seen, and learned quite a bit. I thought...

I agree with that, XLR8. I have not read any downside to boiling either (except for the extra work involved), and absolutely true that nylon loves water. That was also why I contacted Kyosho about the wheels to make sure they would not melt or...

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...

Last post

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...

alright, so i have my 10t torn all apart for clean up and I'm trying to decide what to do with the chassis. its pretty chewed up on the bottom. I'm trying to decide between: strip it and leave it bare aluminum, strip it and repaint black, or strip...

doesnt really leave a nasty finish, it looks like crap afterwards, but its easily polished out with aluminum polish and a rag. make sure to leave it in long enough to remove the anodizing as well as the color. i have left aluminum peices in anywhere...

I know I've seen them before, are they hard to come by/expensive?

Last post

I've only seen red and yellow before. The colored tires came in boxes that say rainbow on them with a graphical representation of one.

In my personal opinion, Troll had some of the best packaging ever.
