fuel tank dyeing?

[rampage idiot]

I was gonna try leather dye just to try it but never did, I know it works on alot of stuff don't know about plastic, Try it be the guiney pig LOL I would like to no if it works RCDAD sells tanks cheaper than any body

So I am guessing that anything else just damages the tank?

Screw it, could be fun... I might try it on my next day off and Ill post a pic or 2 if it is successful... (or maybe even if it's not so we can all have a laugh at my rediculous blotchy tank)...

You could have the first tie dye tank. You'll be an innovator.

that's what I want... a hippie RC gasser... does anyone sell a large scale VW logo for the front?

 

[Deluge1]

Bwahahaha. Ask Grafil, he'll hook you up!

I used black powder and it sees to be fading bad. Has anyone else had this issue?

Thinking about the dies I have here, I have every shade of brown you can imagine, then I have black and I have red... I might try the red... on the XT.

Red looks cool as hell. Another member did a red one. It made the fuel tank look like a mini gas can. Made me want a red one.

I didnt even think of that... then a yellow paint pen could stencil "GAS" on it...

My favorite thing about the forum is the inspiration I get from others.

I was going to do it to the XT, but if it turns out good, I am going to do it to the "old army" MT... I think that would be a nice addition

 

[Guest]

I look forward to knowing whether or not the leather dye works. Could open up more opportunities.

I may test it out tomorrow if I have a chance... I don't see myself sleeping much between work hours tomorrow, since now I want to do this and the vent mod... ha ha ha "MORE COFFEE, Private!!!"

RIT clothing dye. Powder only!

U can get it @ shoprite, walmart. Etc

 

[maddmike]

I had my tank loose all its color once gas started spilling. I used the rite dye but it was the liquid. Does the tank fade when using powder ? I would love to redo it

 

[Guest]

My black tank is now brownish. I used Ritt powder.

 

[Deluge1]

Well, I'd say some fading is normal. Considering Rit Dye wasn't meant for use on fuel tanks.

 

[maddmike]

Ya for me my tank is completely stock color not a spot of blue anymore haha
