dying tuffs

Al Wyn:
That a pita Pickle as my mates just spent a day and a half doing some greens that were faded in a couple of areas and you can still see the shade difference afterwards :(

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
you need to sand down if it's bad - razor for best results

if it's just brake rub line, then a slight sand will bring it up - the next brake rub will take it back down again in time

pickle:
so insted of dying them, you suggest just rubbing them down with really fine sand paper and then WD40?  ???

Chromo Buzz:
Hi, i reckon the best route would be aqua blasting. A couple of people on here have done it with outstanding results 8) :4_17_5: Though apparently it is quite expensive, look on here for a member who's got few resto thread's on an old green 85 master. His white alloy hubbed tuff's look the bomb :smitten:

I've already wreck a set of faded yellow tuff's by trying to re-dye yellow & they turned out like a mustard colour :tickedoff:
Here's  before  & after pic


So then i tried to dye them orange & they ended up like this :-[ :'(


I got these off Ebay.com & i'm not gonna risk dyeing them, i'm gonna call the guy in Essex for a price on the aqua blasting. Cant risk fooking this pair up :smitten:


Which ever way you choose, hope they turn out sweet for ya ;) :daumenhoch:

pickle:
what orange dye did you use?
