Can you dye thermoset side tables?

I have searched all over and can't find an answer. I want to create a completely blacked out keeper build.

It may be possible. It would be nice to test a broken piece first.

It is also not impossible to paint thermoset. You just have to accept that eventually you will have to repaint.

I painted the thermoset side tables of my Genesis Silver dark green. They needed to be repainted about every 5 years.

I’ve thought about trying bedliner on them. I would think if sanded with 80grit that would give it deep enough scratches that it would stick well.

I did my untrained amateur attempt at faux finishing the tables on my Platinum One Touch (the "platypus!") kettle:

It depends on the type of plastic. Is there a resin code imprinted on it?



For certain, HDPE (Durawood) and LDPE are difficult to dye at home. It would probably be best to take a piece of a damaged table and try it. Note: do not use acetone near an open flame!

That’s a handy little chart!

That is absolutely stunning, Jon.

I have tried to dye thermoset tables. It is a No Go. They do not take the dye well at all.
