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

<< < (2/4) > >>

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Yes they can be dyed like skyways

but there are things to remember

the surface aera on a skyway is a lot larger and so will take a certain amount of dye to volume of water to container used to dye in

z-rims are smaller and so need less water to cover and hence will also need less dye or they will go darker than wanted

you can always bleach back again / take off new dye and start again

you can also use a fixer, but if the wrong colour it will be harder to get off

so same as skyway dying but less of every thing  ;)

pm if stuck
