Rit is SHiitt for sprucing up yellow tuffs because they come out orangey.........I don't mean that as a joke in light of what has happened here. Dylon is weaker than Rit and you usually get the desired effect because of that. Did you follow bendycats intructions? He is usually the man with the most experiance dying mags. Also quite a lot of guys on burnerwold have got experiance doing yellow mags durning their Tuff or Mag burner resto's.

Yes mate, i did read bendycats instructions but i didnt pay full attention to what he said about the amount of dye :idiot2:......only got myself to blame(you live & learn eh). Thank's for your info, i'll have to check out burnerworld :daumenhoch:

Just buy some bottles of thin bleach from Asda or Tesco and use it neat - last time I bought some it was only about 23p a bottle.
Just make sure you protect the alloy hubs with pleanty of grease or valsaline first as the bleach will eat away the alloy if you don't :daumenhoch:

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.

The lads here think the Tuffs look fine as they are. Got any green tyres?
Seriously; I hope this works out for you in the end mate.
