There are some great yoyos out there, but sometimes, the color just doesnt work for us. Is there a step by step method on how to remove the colors on a yoyo and repaint it to our style without affecting its performance or feel in any way (or as little as possible)? ???

the only way to re"paint" your yoyo if it is metal is to have someone strip and re-anodize it.

There’s also powder coating. A number of people here do it. You can paint metals and some plastics as well though it may show wear eventually. A clear coat over the color will help preserve it.

Those great throws usually come in a variety of colors. Could just go for the color you like the most.
