Using Dye on Schumacher 3 spoke wheels

Quote

Post by minichamps11 » Fri Dec 12, 2008 2:14 pm

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

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.

Can you dye colored wheels?

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?

Last post

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.

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...

Always interesting when you get a car and a bunch of spare parts:

Someone wanted 5 Spoke wheels for their JRXS but instead of buying the wheels, they got creative and made their own.

Using a black Sharpie marker.

Now that's some craftsmanship... :shock: :roll: :lol:

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...

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...
