Madonna Blue is what you are after, But remember - when looking at the item wet in the dye solution it will look darker by about one to two shades

volume of water % to dye will also determined the colour shade - this means the shape of the item you are dying in will also effect the dying process  ;)

cheers B  ;)

Thanks Tony  :). Sounds like you've got a few on the go at the moment. Did you get that ripper? Have you bought a kuwie as well for an E.T rep? Looking forward to seeing em! See you at the Leeds ride  :daumenhoch:

here is a old thread of mine that might help a bit  ;)


the gorden ramsay way of dying wheels

take 1 set of OGK's - slightly faded


wash


pick out any dirty bits missed


scrape off any brake marks


bleach


hot water


salt


dye


put in and leave for 24 hours - turning and stiring every so often


cover


take out and wash in cold water - then dry


now ready to serve - i mean ride - DONE





cheers B
