Pinball dye tests. Rubber rings, flippers, nylon nuts.
Okay, so I had asked about this a while back, never really got around to doing it...
Got a wild hair. Decided to give it a go.
Here's the results:

Rubber rings and shooter tip? Absolutely would NOT pick up the slightest bit of dye. I would love to figure this one out, this is almost exactly the color I was wanting. I've been using orange flipper rubber in my Shuttle and I like the way it looks, will look even better with the flippers in there. No, it's not uniform and perfect, and I don't expect I'll ever be able to get it to be, but I think they look fantastic.
The one on the right is actually the flipper I originally pulled out of the machine that had caked on rubber and crud on it. I had cleaned it off pretty thoroughly before I placed my first parts order. The flipper on the left and the nylon nut were both brand new.
