LEGO how to: Color dyeing tutorial!

[starscreamer20]

BLALLGLALALGGLGLA! It is taking dark gray pieces fucking forever to dye!

[edb6q]

could not get this to works at all, I tried white, yellow and pink legos none would even barely turn black. Am I doing something wrong I bought the liquid Rit black dye didn't think that would make a difference, does it?

[VOLTVEXstudios]

That is pure genus...

[LegendarySilverWolf]

thanks man it really works

[swan6307]

this might sound stupid, but would it work with knex?

[HerofactoryChronicle]

How much does rit cost?

[LegendarySilverWolf]

damn i wish i known this before i bought paint dye does look better

[alwaysreallyawesome]

OMG

[TZ3z]

Ha he stained the towel :D

[TZ3z]

@ xavi 9685 they already make black on black for the iPhone I own a 3 witch I use for vids and the otter box keeps it good.

[202halofreak]

Thanks:)

[ert828]

thank you now I can make a paradox alien and a assembly sabertooth

[xavi9685]

i would like to know if this method would work with the polycarbonate plastic from an otterbox case????

[77legokid]

Well now I need to find something to dye....

[optimalprime2170]

Did the dye stain the pot?

[IXRollOutIX]

@optimalprime2170 Nope. Besides, the inside of the pot was black anyway.

[conan1412robloxian]

i need pink dye to make kirby =3

[slashrazor07]

Wait so where do u get the rit dye?

[mkwhited]

good idea but why not just use a sharpy marker?

[TH3M4STERM4N]

does this work on any lego piece lets say... a clone trooper helmet?

[IXRollOutIX]

@TH3M4STERM4N Yes.

[TH3M4STERM4N]

@IXRollOutIX thanks for the tip hers something for you troubles

[orionsswords]

Wow, good idea. I have always wondered if there was a good way to change a lego piece's color.

Something you didn't mention in the video, do you let the dye-water cool down at all (so you don't melt the plastic), or is the hot water not a problem.

[IXRollOutIX]

@orionsswords As long as you keep the water at a simmer, the plastic wont melt.

[conan1412robloxian]

@orionsswords ive baked legos in an oven and microwaed them and they didnt melt

[gogoboy44]

Seems this would work best if changing a white brick's color.

[IXRollOutIX]

@Shredscope The best part about it is that Rit dye only costs about $2.00 and can be used to dye a whole POUND of bricks. Also, It's not a top coat so the brick is the same exact size and shape - therefore - it will not hinder hinge joints or even stud friction.

[ninjabrickmaster234]

lol i just spray my peices black it works to

[IXRollOutIX]

@ninjabrickmaster234 I explained how this method is far better. You don't have to worry about scratching or wear.

[BlockBusterStudios1]

Does this dye only work for lighter coloured lego pieces?

[IXRollOutIX]

@BlockBusterStudios1 Only if the color you want it I darker than the color you have now.

[BlockBusterStudios1]

Very good tutorial! I always wanted to know how to properly dye a lego!

[Tyranis99]

thank for this now i can change the colours of my bricks

[mashcorps]

thanks for the how to but do you know if this will work on things like gundam models of transformer weapons?

[IXRollOutIX]

@ProdigyTransformer Rit makes Navy Blue, Light Blue, Green, Red, Grey, and all sorts of other colors. They all take the same exact steps to accomplish.

[Dogjy101]

wow, anybody can do that, all u got to do is burn your lego on fire and its black

[CASTOWE1972]

And I was just wondering today ..(How ANd what would I Dye My Lego Pieces)..Thanks good Idea.

[OptimusSmyth]

Helpful info!  This may be useful if I ever want to customize some toys! Are there any colors which this dye will not work on though?

[IXRollOutIX]

@OptimusSmyth Not particularly. The only real restriction is that you can't go from dark colors to light colors. However, white can be dyed ANY color imaginable.
