WTF went wrong(dying tuff's)!!!

<< < (3/5) > >>

StellaAtoiz:
Sorry they did not turn out how you had hoped :(

I personally think they look great 8)

Let me know if you decide to sell them rather than re-dying again :daumenhoch:

rick1970:
a couple of hours under a sunbed should do trick  :LolLolLolLol: or a quick bleach sesh  :coolsmiley:

phantom photon:
As said above too much dye and you left them in waaaay too long  :(

When I did a set of yellow tuffs I only used 2 tins of dylon Golden Glow dye and only left them in for 30 minutes.

Before and after

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
One of my post's from Burnerworld

the gorden ramsay way of dying wheels

take 1 set of OGK's - slightly faded


wash


pick out any dirty bits missed


scrape off any brake marks


bleach


hot water


salt


dye


put in and leave for 24 hours - turning and stiring every so often


cover


take out and wash in cold water - then dry


now ready to serve - i mean ride - DONE (camera changes colour a bit)





cheers B

time seemed fine

cover was fine but another blanket would keep more heat in

i don't know about the steamer as i have done my work in the bathroom

one salt bottle would have done i think

did you stir and rotate the mags


but all is not lost
Right you should be able to re- bleach the mags and suck out the colour and be able to start the process again

who's process did you use ? was it mine ?


let me know if you need any help


cheers B  ;)

Hi Bendycat, yep i did use your thread that you replied to Hunterdubber's question back in late january this year(in this section), i dont blame you mate(i just read it back & realised i fooked up!! :uglystupid2:). I read the bit that said x3 on the dye, then didnt carry on reading where you said only 2 if lighter colour required.....doh! :idiot2:

Would you be able to tell me the procedure for bleaching them please ie:what ratio of bleach/water to use.........ta muchly, Buz :daumenhoch:
