Thought this would be useful for anyone who wants to change the colour of their panels, it's better than spraying them or wrapping them

As a rule of thumb you can only dye from light to dark e.g you can't dye black to white

Quite smart that. I suppose you could probably use Dylon dyes.

Any dye that would stain plastic, from what I've read

You can get rit dye on eBay for a few quid

It's quite popular with the rc car folk

I'm definitely going to try this, it's impossible trying to find red dt plastics

It doesn't have to be boiling constantly just hot

Filing a bucket with water from a kettle would work

A Big pan on the cooker aswell and it doesn't stain metal

I'll post the other link I found had more info

This guy added salt and vinegar to the water, salt only to raise the boiling temp of the water but I have no idea what the vinegar is for
