: I'm looking at dying my clear hopper a clear to blue fade. Anyone have ideas on the best way to do this (be as specific as possible). Thanks. RIT fabric dye. Dissolve it in hot water in a saucepan that you don't care about possibly picking up color (or getting dye in food you cook later). Let it cool so that it's not so hot that it will melt the plastic or polycarbonate of the loader parts. Of course - take it apart, so you're just dying the body, not the electronics. Let the parts soak until the dye soaks in to the color you want. Rinse with cold water. Walk around for a few weeks with colored hands if you didn't use some sort of gloves. See you on the field, -Bill Mills
