can i die a black nylon chassie on my duratrax evader to like blue or navy blue

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@718mattmatt Nope, you can only dye things to darker colors, not lighter.

Do u think this method works on dying a traxxas stampede 4x4s chasis to blakk?

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@carlozmrc It does work quite well!

[Nielsjpedersen]

How did you remove the chrome? Scraping it off with a knife seems hazardous to me, so how'd you do it?

[UltimateRCnetwork]

@Nielsjpedersen Acetone. I have a video on that too!

do tires come in different colors than black

[MsRcuniverse]

will it work on tires?

[rccarsrule1000]

@1chukker this will never come off and the longer you soak it the darker it will be

[1chukker]

How long till it wears off? And if you dip it again (2 times instead of 1) would it last longer?

@718mattmatt no, but if you strip the black off first it would.
