Color Questions - strato-abyss19 - Jul. 21, 2020

This might not be the right forum for this, but I just recently received my new custom Beyblade. It was made with a dark grey plastic and I'd like to make it a whitish color. What would be the best way to color the layer so that none of the pieces get gunked or jammed up and everything works and looks smoothly? Appreciate the help in advance.

That's only for people selling or trading in Beymarket.

You would need to figure out the best wait to paint or dye the 3d printed or resin crafted bey, based on the material. That's really outside the scope of this site. Determine what the material used was, and then use a search engine to look up the best way to paint or dye it.

Don't paint/dye the underside, where the teeth or slopes are, and you should be fine. Try not to paint or dye the areas that the disk prongs will be rotating against.

Yeah, alright. Guess that was too broad of a question, heh. Appreciate the advice tho.

Hey I have some questions relating to this topic, one I am getting a bey custom made out of ABS plastic how do I smooth en the surface of the plastic? two what kind of paint should I use regular cheap spray paint or durable acrylic paint?

Sorry if this is a necro, (maybe y'all could point me in the direction of a superficial customizations thread?) but if anyone goes the dye method, careful of worm dye. Accidently left the layer in the dye too long and the acetone started eating up the plastic. Didn't hurt Rage's performance though:
