Just dyed the parts and they turned out pretty good. Would rather start with black fiberglass, but this worked out.

Here's the formula i used:
1- 8 ounce bottle of RIT dye
7 cups of water
1/2 cup of salt- not sure what salt does, girlfriend said that's what she does when she dyes clothing.
Let simmer for about 1 hour.

Now the problem with dying so many flat parts (i made 5 kits) is that they lay on top of each other and can impede the flow of dye. I need to come up with a way to stand them on edge to be dyed properly. The nylon test pieces from an RC10 came out awesome.
