    Took me a while before I could come up with words! You sir, have a fan for life! This is easily one of the best ideas ever! Bandit's a phenomenal idea by himself, but you've got Snowman too!?!? Holy crap I just wet myself in anticipation! The color scheme looks great for Bandit/Trigger, and I love the mustache paint app idea!

    Can't wait!

    " I know BB isnt a trans-am but he is very very close fit and will look great painted up like the Bandits car."

    Wasn't Bandit the T/A's name?

    I dye a lot of plastics. There are 2 very effective ways. #1 Immersion method. You want to do this method only if you have 100% of the same plastics. There are several types of plastics used on one figure. His roof is different than his doors etc... So only use this method when you KNOW what your plastics are and if the final color has to match. Not to mention since the figures you are talking about have electronics in them, you really should immerse them in near boiling water for several hours.
    #2 Method... Go to Pep boys, get a can for Prime, I'd get 2 cans per color. This is exactly like painting, but is the one you need to do outside. It is pigment suspended in acetone. You have to mask VERY WELL, and do many many VERY light coats. This method will soften the plastic for days sometimes so you have to just sort of leave it alone for a while so the styrene can harden up again. You can PM me, and I can answer any questions you have about plastics dyeing.

    "Bandit" was the CB handle of Bo (Burt Reynold's character). "Snowman" was the handle of Cletus Snow (Jerry Reed's character, who drives the rig w/ his basset hound "Fred"). The Trans Am was called "Trigger" (or at least I do believe the second one was named "Son of Trigger").
