so far i think yellow looks the best, followed by purple then orange then red. would really love to see some lime green :\

now the issue i see here is no silver rings... all other colors show them not here tho

Actually you can see them still. Silver is easy to see but the black ring requires closer inspection. I used graphite dye coloring too.

They are still there. Just can't see them from that angle. The color also makes the lock and unlock arrows stick out a little more too. I never new DJI was stamped on these props until I dyed them.

I wouldn't try it. Your going to add weight and more then likely throw them out of balance. Dye does not change the weight, well not enough to measure with a standard scale.

I disagree... I think Hydro Dipping the body and the props would be just fine. The hydro finish is less than a tenth of a strand of hair. I think any variations would be negligible.

I'm glad it looks blue . Sometimes in lowlights looks almost purple. I used the "royal blue" used the whole bottle in about a gallon of boiling water. Wanted a little lighter but I messed up doing the whole bottle
 
I tried to match the logo but props are too dark .

Well, here is the result of my first try dying, as far as the dye adhering to the P4 finish, I was very pleased. Only soaked them for 35min, and the finish is perfect, no streaks or anything, I have seen others say they had to soak for 24-48hrs to get a good finish, I am wondering if they weren't using the synthetic dye. Now the problem, I wanted the maroon props to be orange like the RIT bottle next to it, the yellow came out exactly as I wanted, and I did them the exact same way. Also, the dye bled under the darker props, but didn't bleed at all through the yellow, I was going for white. So, do you think I dyed the orange ones to long, or do I need to add less dye? (I used the whole bottle on both)
On a side note, I was debating between orange and a dark/maroon red, so no harm really, they will still look ok with my design. I'll post the whole P4 when I get the rest done.
