I want me some gold Seaborg 1 AR, lol.

Keep in mind that dying can only go from light to dark, and if you want gold, I don't think you can really dye gold. You'll just get yellowish-brown, but it won't be shiny enough. That'll have to rely on paint.

Personally, I just use the can of nippon spraypaint that I find at hardware stores around here, then a layer of transparent over it. It's durable enough for me.

Where do we draw the line? Maybe, we should put aside all our plastic Beyblades and use wooden spinning tops.

Well you use it in battles anytime? If not, you can coat 1-2 layers of enamel paint (hobby section of walmart) with like a paint marker. You'd have to coat it to prevent some wear from it. If you plan to use spray paint, make sure you distance yourself or that part might get too bulky from paint.

And with dying, if it's white it can become any other solid color. Solid doesn't=gold though.

And Composer, is that paint similar to enamel at all? I'd like to try it out sometime Smile
i doubt id use it much, if at all. more for a collection piece
I'll check my gold paint marker to see if it still works or not and get back to you on how accurate it is to Uriel's color.
Do you think Wolborg MS has quite a good endurance =)?

Best survival (endurance) Beyblade of all time.
between Wolborg 1 and Wolborg 2, which spins more time?

Wolborg 1 has better pure survival. Wolborg 2 has a rubber tip; it's built for defense + survival.
Are any of the electronic type launchers good for serious battles?

It's... similar to wall paint, I believe.
Hmm never tried it out on plastics before, but I guess it wouldn't mind to try it out sometime. Thanks!
Oh one more thing. Some sprays don't work well with plastic. I tried to spray my Samurai Upper white, but the purple pigmenting the plastic somehow came out and mixed with the paint, resulting in... pink. If you're worried about that, then use three layers, transparent, colour, transparent.
Hmm I've never thought of trying a transparent layer first then a solid. But yeah, applying white or painting of a darker color like purple and especially black requires more than 2 layers.

Haha I find it interesting that it turned out pink from the plastic. I soo gotta try this paint now Smile
Is it illegal to put the Dranzer V SG (including the bottom of the base) on Wolborg's base. It fits so I was wondering.
Can anyone tell me what these are and why are they so expensive?

Arn't they just ordinary weight disks?

They're rare. I don't think they came with any beyblades. You had to buy them seperate.
Good find.
they're spark disks, and they're incredibly rare
I sure as hell wouldn't pay 150 dollars for them though.
I've a pair of them that I believe I got for free. I should sell them >.>

They used to be very common, but were withdrawn right? That's why they're rare now... I can't remember if it was because of "safety issues", or because of tournement advantage, or because of "safety issues" being a cover for blocking the tournement advantage of these parts.

They're... the lightest but also the biggest. In a sense, it's the perfect survival weight disc.

So these spark disks are just good parts?

On the picture it looks like sparks are flying, can anyone explain?

Two small flints on either side of the WD, and a sticker with sandpaper to go round the whole WD.

When they collide, sandpaper against flint causes sparks. Similar to Sparkling Attacker.

You can choose to use the sandpaper or not. Without, it is smoother, obviously. Roughness... decreases defence but increases spin stealing capability.

Thats the answer I was looking for, I get it now. Thanks.
And just a FYI, the flints only lasts for a while until they're worn down.
