Still have this blue Shotgun 2 really need a black
« on: March 06, 2011, 08:25 AM »
Hi guys.
I'm on my second build. This times Curtis pro to Be the big brother to my exp. I am going to build in the same colours so they make a matching pair! So it's chrome n black again. Sorry if I'm a bore doing 2 the same but the exp was a rep of my pro race bike from bitd.
I have a shotgun on the exp in original black and I have a nice blue one I will drop on the pro. But blue will not look good so to cut this long story short how do I dye it black? What is the best method? I've done some mushrooms before with rit dye but not convinced it would take to a plastic seat and really don't want to ruin it!

Cheers

I did my Shotgun from yellow to black.

I bought 2 pots of rit to do it but there was other stuff being dyed aswell.






The only problem is it isn't shiny enough but it was in hell of a mess when i got it so a lot of sanding has been done. I may buy some lacquer to spray on there.

One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Agreed, someone will swap you a different coloured one that you can dye, or a black one  :daumenhoch:

I would rather have a black one but if I can't then I need to do something with this!
Del do you do decals for the shotgun 2? And I also need a set of decals for my Curtis pro at some stage soon! Well if I ever get the time to prep the frame for chrome! Lol

yeah I do the side Shotgun 2 decals but not the rear one.

Do what chris says, if you cant swap for a black one then swap/deal for another colour and dye that on instead... I have a couple spare ones in red/yellow and white but they're not as good condtion as your blue one... saying that the shotguns do dye very nicely.
