How do you Dye clear plastic? I have a couple of different options available. I have an airbrush, so can i just lightly airbrush the color right onto it? I also have Rit Dye. I am really wanting to leave the opacity alone, so I am guess that you can actually get the dye to soak into the plastic....kinda like when you cook spaghetti-O's in a white plastic bowl and it stains it...:)

I tried the RIT dye and failed miserably. I used Vinegar, but I guess after reading you are suppose to add Acetone to the Dye to help it bond to the plastic. Well, I wound up using Transparent Acrylic paint and it looks okay. However I get dots from the Airbrush spray if I apply enough coats will this go away without loosing the transparency?

 

On another note...I sadly dropped a glob of Testors Model glue on the hood of my custom. It looks like the glue eats right through enamel paint. ANY suggestions for how to clear the spot. Do I need to remove all the paint on the body and re-do it? I won't mind doing it as long as it's the best so it doesn't appear that I dropped glue on it. I'll post a couple of pics just for reference. I was so pissed... :tfmad
