Vynil dye?

How well would white vynil dye work on black plastic? The first time I dye it, it would turn gray, but If I did it again, would it turn white? I don't mind dying it multiple times.

Reason I'm asking, is I want to take a Classic Controller, and a Genesis controller and make a wii Genesis pad. I will not settle for a black controller on my wii

You could try bleaching it, but really white Krylon Fusion is a better option.

I was even thinking of getting acrylic rods to replace buttons for the real wii feel.

Sacrilege!

I havn't used krylon for a while, but doesn't it leave a slight sticky feeling?

Fusion doesn't, it binds with the paint. The regular stuff sits on top, and is slightly tacky.

My above idea might be a bit overly crazy, it would probably be easier to just wire a classic controller inside of a genesis pad.

Yeah.

Also, it's v-i-n-y-l.

Use Auto paint, applied with an authentic Auto paint gun.

Best way to get a professional finish.

Otherwise settle for Krylon.

(Also: VINYL)

First of all, this is in the wrong place. Second, there's already a discussion about this stuff in the right place. I hope this second time around you'll be able to find the proper forum.

Locked.
