Making SRB wheels black

[CamplinP]

Just wondering if anyone has dyed SRB wheels black. I am afraid they might melt since they are plastic and not nylon. I would guess black paint is the other way to go.

ive never tried it, mostly because everyone i have ever talked to or has commented has said plastic doesnt take dye at all.. nylon will, plastic just doesnt.. i have used a plastic spoon to stir dye and it has turned black, or purplish at least... i say try it whatcha got to lose on a junk part.

The plastic Tamiya uses for the wheels won't accept the dye too well

Be sure when you're painting them to not lay on the paint to thick. It gets HARD to fit the screws and bolts together when there is an extra mm or two of thickness...
