Have you all considered just putting all the chips on a drop cloth and painting them?

This commercial shows a lady painting a huge poker chip. Realisticly, I think she'd need more than one coat, but it's a commercial.

I'm off to buy 10000 white Faux Clays!

Use a wax crayon.

I thought about doing this with the "new" Krylon for Plastics paint. I used it to turn pink plastic tiles in my bathroom white and it worked GREAT! There is literally one small "crack" where the paint didn't stick and made a blemish.

This is what I have thought all along. My big question was how to get the crayon off? Then it was posted here to use hot water to melt it off. Will that get rid of the dye though?

The possibilities are endless.

How is the Kool aid holding up? I would be concerned of a sticky residue if someone with sweaty hands was holdign the chips.

No stickiness at all. Also, no transfer of the color. They have been shuffled and handled for a week now and no signs of color wear.

Just don't add sugar to your koolaid and you should be OK.

Peroxide? Thats odd! I guess it could help get the dye into the chip... you might want to try vinegar.

I've used vinegar in dying plastic stuff before, but never peroxide. We used to dye our lacrosse sticks - we'd heat the vinegar/water mix to a near boil, then add the dye and then the head of the lacrosse stick... Heating the water/vinegar mix helped set the dye quicker. after a minute or two we'd remove the stick and rinse it with cold water. viola - red/blue/or purple lacrosse sticks.

Thanks for your reply. I am going to have to seriously look at this.

Winters....I have a few easy questions here.

How long did you soak each chip to get the pink color?

How many chips did you get colored with each pack of kool-aid?

So its been a few more days have you seen any color issues? Transfer. Fading.

Thanks

Tried the Krylon (See FCN post for pics) and LOOKS amazing, BUT...
The transfer was a little too much for my liking. Some people may be fine with it to get some cool colors. I'm going to play some more over the weekend. I got a few cans of the Krylon (Yellow, Orange and something else). Will update with pics this weekend.
