Dyeing skyways or that Aqua blasting thingy? Help please

<< < (2/3) > >>

MartyC:
Fine wirewool and CIF should bring them back to yellow and if still faded or not as bright as you want then dye them with Dylon losts of salt and some constant heat.

MartyC:
One done with wirewool and cif and one ready to be done

Taipan:
Cheers Marty that's not a bad result  :daumenhoch: mine are faded bad and have years of grime and dust like I said there like a dirty white colour probably worse than your one on the right  :-\ do I need to protect the alloy hubs if I dye them? thx :daumenhoch:

pickle:
The metal will be fine in just hot water (with dye) and salt, it's bleach that eats away at them.

oldschoolace:
Dont know that aquablasting is capable of removing fading. I know a lad on the museum gets good results using walnut shells as a media for blasting. I would deffo not just try and overdye the fading though, its bound to end up patchy.
