BLEACHING SEATS

(1/2) > >>

PRO THUNDER:
I've seen an Odyssey leading edge seat on the bay. The main part of the seat is black but the rear part is grey. I was wondering if you can bleach/dye this rear part so that it goes to white. You can remove this rear part and refit it after.  Can anyone help or has anyone done it before?   :daumenhoch:

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Need to see a picture

but in practice of dying and bleach the slight rules are - if the dye has been put in at the process of making then the dye will run the whole way through - so the bleach will only take out from the top of the surface and a couple of mm in some times - the colour will be zapped out and some times only dull /fade the colour

it just depends on the seat and what it's made of  ???

PRO THUNDER:
Cheers Bendycat
I'll try and get a photo up tonight. The auction is ending tonight, so I'll try.  :daumenhoch:

PRO THUNDER:
Here are some pics of the seat. As I said before , the rear part looks like it unclips from underneath.  :daumenhoch:

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Just looked at the pic's - sorry mate will not bleach white  :-\ :-[

as for dying - it might but it has to be a darker colour and if it doesn't have any nylon in it when it was made it will not take - if it does it might dye ok

it's never easy to tell till it's in yer hand

is the plastic hard or soft / you don't show how it un-clips

if you were to dye it what colour are you looking to go ?

cheers B  ;)
