ok after a few failed attempts of painting systems, mostly 360s, with spraypaints...no matter what the quality of the paint and the job, it still doesnt look that grate..and its horrible when you paint controllers. so back in the day i used to race gas r/c cars and we used to dye our plastics for a custom look..and i said..why not use it on a 360? and if you look on a site like ebay they all say their dyed...this is how you do it.go to a local store like wal-mart and get so Rit brand dye. the only one ive tried is the powderd..at the moment i have no extra parts to use the liquid on. in my oppinion its easyier than painting, you get the packet of dye, metal pot of boiling water and dump in the dye.. then say your doing a 360 controller..after you take it apart..take a pice of fishing line and tie it to a wire hangerand leave it in the pot for about 5 minutes..the longer you leave it in the darker and more the color will penetrate the plastic. its that easy...the only hard part is finding a big enough pot to dye the bigger console pieces.. it hardly shows up on black plastic it kind of has a tint of the color but not reallyso anything white is grate. and it also tints clear plastics so if you get a ghost case and dye it red its translucent. if anyone would like a more in depth tut let me know...im puting up a youtube tut soon as well
Yes it can be done. A lot of people that are into RC Cars use this method to dye plastic parts on their cars. You can find videos on youtube of people that have done as well.
