No..it's way trickier...the dye is boiled, and the plastic is put into the boiling water for only seconds!!!
Those seconds are critical to wether you get a perfectly dyed object or a warped ruined project..
I discovered the process on YouTube. There is a woman who restores old toys and she used this process to color match the plastic pedals on a vintage child's bike...
I will dig around for some examples to post tomorrow..
