cmckee1, those are some killer dyes. I really like that Spitfire Roadrunner. It looks just like one of their wheels.

Thanks I have been trying to pick up as many tips as possible. I am hoping to start selling some designs soon.

Been a while since I posted something. Did this one for a friend as a gag. Just wanted to let him know what we think about him. The multi shading was a little tricky and it didn't come out perfect, but I'm still happy with the end result.

Im having a really hard time painting, ive tried everything from acetone mix, alcohol mix, and laundry detergent mix, no luck with any of them, all of you have such solid bright colors and i was wondering how you do it. Thanks!

As a life long Star Wars nerd, these are EPIC! Such great detail and concept. I would totally buy that.

Need more info to know exactly what's not working.... Patience is a virtue, especially when painting.

The process is a standard cut template. I am fortunate to have a plotter. Weed the vinyl for the Black area and apply to the disc. I then dip the black with the temp at about 140 degrees for 2 minutes and repeat if not dark enough. I then cut the heat in almost half and wait for the dye to cool. While waiting I pulled the vinyl from the Gray areas. One cooled I did one minute dips at low heat until the color gray I wanted was reached. I then recut the circle around the gray area and applied vinyl over the existing gray. I then did a dip in the Red at 140 degrees for 2 minutes and repeated twice to get the deep red I wanted. This also darkens the black as it was left exposed.

Is this like Dye Max?

 

[mdeeter]

Star Wars dyes

Nope... this was a dye job... just like the others you see on this page. Just a delicate and intricate process.

Two commissioned discs that were completed this past weekend.

Both on Innova Star Aviars.

The first one I had done previously for "Dying for a Cause". A person who bid on it but didn't win it contacted me and wanted me to do another one. He also had me do the other simple blue on white Star of David.

Love them both, came out so good! What vinyl do you use, my greenstar when I try to smooth out bubbles leave creases and I'd my design cuts through the crease the dye seeps into it and messes up my dyes
