    Tigra head dyeing

    I am doing a Tigra custom.
    I attempted dyeing Tigra’s head orange with Rit fabric dye. Epic fail!
    The plastic does not absorb fabric dye.

    Fortunately, my wife is a hair stylist, and there was red hair color laying around, so I tried that.

    In a short time her skin color became orange!


    Now I just need to do something with the hands, and neck, hopefully the same will work on a Mattel RA Cheetah body.

      Rit used to work on pvc, they changed the formulation. Dye job looks great.
