Custom colorizing Lego

[FiletOFish]

Hey guys I'm curious if anyone knows of a quality method of custom colorizing Lego bricks and plates (quality as in not using a brush to paint a Lego brick ). I am currently engaged in 2 mosaic projects and I realize how limited I am due to availability and price of certain colored bricks on Bricklink.

Many of the exotic colors cost way too much (when you multiply it by 400) or are not available in the quantities necessary to build a decent-sized mosaic. I am curious if anyone knows of a way to custom colorize Legos.

Try using spray paint or an airbrush. A paint brush could work, but I think of all three, an airbrush would work best, due to the small size of the bricks.

I've seen some comercial that says "we match any colour" so if you bring in the lego brick, they could probably get a realy close colour, although I'm not sure what store had that comercial.

Lowes or Home Depot. I took in a Baseplate that I wanted LEGO dark green and they found me spray paint that matched.

Why don't you just do that again then?

I am not the one who asked the question, FiletOFish did.

Ooops, my mistake *embarising*.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your input. After weighing spray paint, airbrush, and vinyl dye, I believe I will go the vinyl dye route. I hope it works well .
