Don't be fooled by these "purple integrally colored" chassis(integrally is a fancy word for DYED). Its nothing special an even YOU can do this. First you need either "RIT DYE"(any grocery store) or  "VINYL SPRAY DYE"(auto parts store) and follow the instructions.


RIT DYING

How to:

1 CLEAN THE PART with soapy water Then you need to boil some water. Next  find yourself an old bowl or tupperware container. Make sure it's big enough to allow the whole part to be submersed in the water and dye solution it will contain. Do not use something good, as it's possible the dye will affect it as well.
2 Once the water has boiled pour enough water into your container to allow the part to be fully covered when it's placed inside it. Next add some dye to the water. The exact amount will depend upon the amount of water you've used and your tastes. The more dye you add, the quicker the part will darken. Stir the dye so that it is completely dissolved in the water.
3 Next you'll want to place the part in the Dyeing solution. Keep in mind that you will need to pull it out a few times to check on the actual color of the part.

4 Once the color of your desire is reached hang the part(s) to dry an VIOLA you have a colored chassis or part!!!!!!!!

SPRAY VINYL DYING

How to:

1. Get the part what ever it may be, chassis, bulkheads
remove anything you don’t want painted (or tape them over).
2. Wash the part with soap and rinse clean. Let it dry well.
3. First coat should be about 75% covered. Let it dry for 15 min.
4. Second coat should be totally covered. Let it dry for 15 min.
5. Repeat step 4 until you get the color your looking for.
