Scarlett or Cherry Red?dirkclod said:When I did my red ones with what you used they seemed to be brighter red quick and then turned kinda pinkish red leaving them longer . Used a lot of dye to do them with too.
Me just haven't got the hang of it yet
Also, did you use liquid or powder? I've heard there are slight variations between the two (despite being labeled the same color).dirkclod said:When I did my red ones with what you used they seemed to be brighter red quick and then turned kinda pinkish red leaving them longer .

HappyFlyer's came out more red than mine. Mine are darker, almost blood, red.
Here is HappyFlyer's using Scarlet Red: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32318&hilit=painting+props&start=40
Hmmm...maybe I should start a service. $$$

So are each of the color sets shown made from 2 colors mixed? Example; lemon yellow + royal blue = green?
Yes, none of the props pictured are from a single dye. For the first one, lemon yellow > royal blue means I used more lemon yellow dye than royal blue (but yes, a mixture of both to get green).LuvMyTJ said:Who will be the first to dye the entire airframe? Anyone? LOL
