Hi all, first time posting but appreciate all the tips and tricks I’ve read here while I repaired a couple Megos. I recently bought a Type 1 body with a broken hand. Ultimately I ended up buying a Type 1 arm and just replaced the whole thing, but I wanted to see if I could affix a replacement hand to the old Type 1 arm. I bought a Type S hand and the color didn’t match. I ended up sanding the hand with 800 grit just to rough it up a bit, then dipped it into red acrylic paint. I let it sit overnight, washed/brushed off the paint (it doesn’t adhere all that well so it’s easy to remove) and here are the results. Hope this helps someone! Also would be curious what tips you might have for staining/dyeing plastic Mego parts.

Unstained, stained, Type 1:
