SDF:
I  think have just knackered a  nos front  white  Skyway up……. Tried to dye it green with five Tropical Green Dylons and salted boiling water , left into soak  for over 24 HOURS at hasn’t taken at all,  it looks like  a whitey green colour, far far away from the actual dye colour it has been submerged into. Cant lie I'm gutted !!!!  I am calling on you good people to give me some advise on  how I can rectify this situation. Hoping the wheel isn't scrap and I'm left with one nos rear white coaster Tuff Wheel. :-[

deeman:
Aqua blasting should bring the front one up again....or peroxide.
As for changing the colour I would sell the white ones and look for a green set;;

oldschoolace:
How old is the dye?

brummie:
Bin the front and sell me the rear
Look for an og green set

The front won't ever be white again, you would have to redye, could be patchy

rodriguez:
Heres a how from the only thing I'd do different is use RIT dye instead of Dylon and also if you could come up with a way to keep the water hot, I think someone use a wallpaper steamer by putting the end the steam comes out of into the container, someone else set a large tin container on a bbq.
