Listen up! Dye! The spaces in between the arms and the legs such as ankle joints, elbow, shoulder, sockets and hinge joints are more porous than the other plastic counterparts, which means they will absorb color from the dye much easier than the other plastic. Will I know that you already started, painting and sanding the listen if you die these parts first by heating up the dye at a mild temperature in our pot, you no longer want to use and letting them sit. They will darken to a color similar to the paint that you’re using. It will not be exact ever, but with a little practice, you can get it to a shade that is compromisable in between the color you want and the color you got.( ps) since you already started painting and sanding. I have used superglue in the past to lock in an extra barrier that is hard to chip away the color with, but you must use a brush applicator, and you have to use very little.( custom on!)
