The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

[goosefraba1]

Thanks Jeff. I'm still using up old Rit, that's the Fuchsia.

The DAN!

Here's one I finished up last night. Looks like I missed a cut above the right eye and dyed it black instead of the green it was supposed to be. No bleeds, so I'm happy about that.

No where near as impressive as hurricanes, but I'm proud of it, one of my first dyes.

"Da dada da da dada dada dada da dada da dada dada dada"

Didn't play the vinyl and make the feathers darker than I wanted to compensate for the 2 remasks, so the yellow/orange feathers are a bit too light. Had some bleeds near the edge, but 0 bleeds onto the back of the rim, which is always nice.

There's so many good dyes in this thread; I'm a little embarrassed to actually show my discs. But here's a couple I've done recently...

 

[Chromezero]

I got a new Volt yesterday but didn't care much for the shade of blue. So, I jazzed it up a bit...

Just dyed these 2 today. The blue is an MVP Inertia & the greenish disc is a Gstar Katana. Both dyed with Fuchsia the Inertia stayed true to the color while the Katana looks red, ( metallic red ) which looks kinda cool . No runs on the Inertia with some minor runs on the Katana, but I don't care! It looks good to me! This is the first dyes I've done in months so it will to come back to me.

 

[Chromezero]

Both of them look good tomn8r. I like the colors on that Katana and the Inertia probably looks really cool when it's flying.

 

[tomn8r]

Thanks! The red on the katana kind of looks metallic candy apple red in the right lite. I haven't thrown the inertia yet, "so we'll see".

Love that Kaxe Z. Bet it looks sweet in the air!

I have a question for everyone (I apologize if this has been asked before). Has anyone had issues with Champion plastic not taking dye near the edge (see picture)? And more importantly, is there a way to fix it?

I had this happen on this Volt (attached). Had the black outline in a hot dip for about 30 min and when I took it out it looked terrible. I powered through it by leaving it in for a few hours and eventually it looked OK. You can still see it in the light fill on the logo. Left in the plastic bag dye for over 2 days and it seemed to take pretty well.

I cleaned the disc with hot soapy water like normal, so I have no explanation for it. I even cleaned it with rubbing alcohol between the outline and the light black fill and it still happened.... :/

First of all, love the Volt. That looks sweet.

Question on the Claymore - does the dye not affect the stamp on those?

Thank you. I had some major bleeds but they look neat too. I often use that discs for long hyzers and it really does looks cool in the air.

Thank you. I was really happy with the way the Volt came out.

In my experience, no, the dye does not effect foil stamps. I will warn you though, shaving cream or a dish soap float can destroy a stamp. I like to preserve or accentuate the stamps if I can and if it's done right, it can come out pretty cool. When I picked up that claymore, I just got an image in my head of an old medieval shield. So that's what I tried to do with the dye...

Thanks for the info. I ask because I also dyed a Claymore with shaving cream, but with the color of the disc/dye used, I couldn't tell if it affected the stamp, whereas yours clearly looks unaffected. The only part of the stamp I masked was the sword because I went back and dyed that gunmetal.

Here's my latest one. Did this one for a friend.

Awesome.

How did you do the shadow on Homers head?

The colors are really good on that one.

 

[Disc Down]

Awesome.

How did you do the shadow on Homers head?

Thanks. I painted on 3 coats of idye black mixed with laundry detergent. I left each coat on for a minute or two. It wasn't too difficult to figure out...just have to keep an eye on it and not let it get too dark. It was my first attempt at shading, so I just kinda went for it and thankfully it turned out ok.

The colors are really good on that one.

Thanks!

My wife and I just got into dyeing, just thought I'd show some of the stuff we've done so far. So far we haven't had any major mishaps and they've all turned out pretty decent.
