    This worked! Thank you! Although, I used a thick ziplock bag and SOUS VIDE to maintain 185 degrees F for like 10mins and that was enough for my very small project.

  • @TheNoisePolluter
    @TheNoisePolluter Před 3 lety +101

    The very last step that everyone misses is you have to spray the parts off with acetone...that reddish/blue/purple pen ink color is mucky dye that settles on the surface, rinse it off good with acetone and it will look factory made clean.

    • @optimafootworks9554

      @@optimafootworks9554 Yes, the dye soaks into the plastic coloring it and then mucky dye sits on the surface looking like it was colored on with a sharpie. I've done several nylon plastics and comes out looking factory made when rinsing in fresh acetone.

    Im totally doing this! I cant find black plastics for my kdx200 and paint chips off so fast. I will have to do this just on a much bigger scale for maybe even my gas tank but definitely the fenders and number plate are getting dyed. I watched jake the garden snakes video and it didnt work well for him but he didnt use the dye more kind and i dont think he used acetone either. Thanks cam! You saved me a lot of headache and now my bike can look the way i want.

  • @WireWeHere
    @WireWeHere Před 2 lety +1

    A little dish soap in the solution helps. Wash the parts in hot soapy water first then straight in the solution for 15 minutes or whatever time you're using. After rinsing and cooling you can run the process again. Soapy water preheat then another run through the solution. The second or occasionally third run really improved the brightness of the parts. The Rit synthetic graphite dye can improve the color when added to the black.
    Great video, sure beats painting plastic.
    5% x 13oz = 6.5oz acetone. i found 10% works well for chainsaw plastics.

    I think the acetone made it come out the way it did. I also think if you were a little more generous with the RIT it wouldve came out a deeper black. But definitely a good video very informative.👍 You always challenge your self with complicated tasks for these dirt bikes, i love to watch.

    So is it absolutely necessary to boil the mixture to 200 degrees? You said at the end that you left the radiator louvres over night, I assume you didn't heat them and stay up watching them? Do you think you would get the same results by just mixing a cold mixture with 10% acetone and leaving it at room temperature for 24 hours? Just trying to avoid the fumes or buying an electric stove. Thanks!
