I read somewhere before that you could cook up RIT DYE and dye a joe (or Cobra) Well I decided to try this as I was lucky enough to score 3 Firefly vs. G.I.JOE Troop 5 packs I was stuck with extra firefly figures.I bought the Crimson red RIT Liquid Dye from ol Wal-Mart and it took 2 dips into the dye to get the effect I was aiming for but I now have a "Crimson" Firefly. I might try to dip one of my C.L.A.W. or Trouble bubbles later or maybe an extra sharc tooth. but the effect is awesome, my only problem is not having my digital camera to show you firefly, but it looks good.
Has anyone else tried Rit Dye? Show off your RIT Customs! |

I find that the hard plastic torsos will not take the black dye no matter how long I cook it. How'd your torsos turn out?

I have used it a few times for my customs. I find if the mixture is dye heavy you can dye just about anything

I'll try to find my connector for my camera, the paint took 2 dips at 20 minutes each the first dip the arms head and lges were a good color, but the chest wasn't, so I went back and diped it again and it gave the desired effect. it was trial and eror, but he looks great.
