The latest dye job.

[Wolverine]

Diggin' the look. My boy would love to do this to his Johnny 2150.

I bought a couple more cheap pots yesterday, I'm going to experiment with some different colors, I've got a couple junk top covers I'm going to cut them into strips and see what colors will work. I'll post my results either here or start a new thread. May end up with a purplebsaw after all. Lol.

Sorry, but the closer they get to all black, like the OP, they remind me of the all black Crapsman I've seen.

Thats the plan ........... to have people mistake my worked 066 for a Crapsman


Sleeper !

I'm thinking that some other colors have to be there to break it up. If you can dye an all plastic crankcase gray and everything else blace or vice versa I think that may actually be a better look.

I'll be watching for the results. I have some spare plastics that might get a dye job.

This is kinda like a porting/hot saw thread,but accessible to mere mortals.
I also like that all the bits you need are cheaply available

And it's so easy to do even an....idiot can do it![emoji41]

Looks awesome! Great work.

Here is what I picked up the yellow and green is so I can see if I can make lime green. And the tangerine is to see if I can restore some original color. Of course the lighter the colorbthe less likely it will work on Orange and I would think to try it on white would be best.

Make sure you clean the plastics really well. Oil and dirt buildup can cause the dye not to take. Is there a 550 equivalent in jonsered?

Edit: Ty Kenjax for correcting me it is the 2253

The 2253 is the JRed equivalent of the 550xp

Goodwill should have cheap pots.

 

[idiotwithasaw]

If it wasn't so late I would experiment tonight. If anyone has some junk plastic saw parts let me know

Man,you could set up a saw dying service,bit like Mastermind,or Brad Snelling doing the porting etc
Members from all over the world could send you their saws for dyeing,you would eventually get too busy to handle the workload and have to outsource to China
The battlecry shall be "Death to the monotonous use of the colour orange!"
