give it a try. It could also be contamination in the material. I had a set of wheels I just dyed that where white nylon that had a tiny little bit of purple colored spots, I assume from colored plastic that got stuck in the mix.

Re: stain removal from nylon
I have had various pieces molded with imperfections in the plastic. If this is the case, the only hope is replacement. -Jeff

A friend from another website, uses peroxide[hair bleach] to clean his parts. He soaks them in a big Rubbermaid tub sitting in the sun for a couple of days. And so far it seems to work very well. All of his vintage RCs that I have seen look brand spankin' new.

Re: stain removal from nylon
the other option you have it to lightly scrape the stained part. If the blemish isn't very deep, you can scratch it away and blend it in, and unless you are looking at it more closely than a normal person should, you won't see it.
I use a nice fresh exacto to scrape frayed edges and stained spots on arms and stuff.
