oberonspacefruit:
use LOTS of salt.

Superkav:
Get yourself over to http://www.raleighburner.com and check out the 'How to' section. There's extensive info on both bleaching and dyeing Skyways and other mags.

i also did a how to with my blue ones....you may have to use our search button to find it, as it was some time ago, but dyeing on coloured tuffs works. period. it doesnt rub off from the brake blocks, or wash off with water, use dylon, as harris said, when i did my blues ones i used 5 pots of dye, 2kg salt, and boiling water.....out of the kettle and four pots on the stove, just enough water to cover the wheels, left em in the potion for about an hour....stir it constantly for the first ten mins, then give it a whizz every ten mins after, just to stop the dye from separating.

i have some before and after shots...i'll post em up

good luck

Dave

Rombloke:



also if the dirt is ingrained then just bleach em....it will not take the colour out, but will remove the grime.

hope this helps

Dave
