to dye things, clean object, boil some water (it's probably better to keep the water boiling throughout the process but that's hard to do), throw the stuff in and wait a couple of hours. The longer you keep it in the darker it gets, the more powder you use the darker it gets. I dye stuff outside since it can be mes. So i just kept multiple pots of water boiled and ready to go and poured those in when it got cold.

I really want to dye my rampages, but someone said in the boot dying thread that the dalbello plastic doesn't absorb the die. Pluc idk of any color that looks good with brown. I wanted to do orange, because I have it, but I don't know if it would flow with brown yah dig?

I have some old bumblebees, wasnt digging the yellow much, so I bought some chrome spraypaint and removed the tongues and painted em chrome. looks much better, but mutes and tails will dig into the plastic and reveal its true color
