Re: Can Z rim's be dyed..?? (UPDATED WITH PIC'S)

(1/4) > >>

Chromo Buzz:
Hey all,

Was just wondering if Z rims can be dyed like Tuff's..?? I have a pair of Z's (complete) coming over from across the pond, they are lavender  but the rim's seem to be extremely faded. Does anybody know what brand of dye is best?

I've looked on rit dye's website & i think you have to use a colour chart & get them to mix it up for you, is powdered dye best or liquid..??
Thanks in advance guy's for any advice you may be able to offer :daumenhoch:

deeman:
Im 99 per cent sure that Zs can be dyed! :daumenhoch:someone else will no doubt be along shortly to discuss the technicalities as thats the limit of my knowledge!

brettypeeps:
Yes they can :daumenhoch: Retrodan72 has just done a pair

Gnarlyscoots:
Bendycat Eleventeen is the guy who will let ya know about the dye and stuff dude  :daumenhoch: Have you tried dylons ?

Any Nylon products can be dyed but it will only just penetrate the surface so the breaking surface will revert back to the colour they have faded to, with black marks from the pads, obviously  :LolLolLolLol: If your using them that is  ???

Kaner:
I've dyed some from very faded sun bleached blue to black and they came out great. . . Second time round . . . Dylon was complete rubbish and turned them brown?! Use RIT dye, it works a treat!
