Can you paint the tail fins ( I belive that is the correct technical term) on the raptor 30 or maybe dye them?

Stock plastic fins.

I think you will have better luck painting them than dyeing them.
Sand the shiney off the plastic.
Prime and paint with plastic compatable stuff.
Fuel proof paint or clearcoat with fuel proof top coat.

Or you can get some vinyl stick on trim sheet in color you want and use that.

Is balancing an issue when it comes to those???Will the vinyl affect the "purpose" or hamper it in any way?
