Dying a seat.

<< < (2/2)

daz bmx it!:
I dyed a white seat to orange the other day it came out kinda ok,the colour was not that deep but i used dylon cold water dye(which you actually use hot water with?) what you should use is the dylon multi-purpose dye,but i found it had ltd colour choices in that,hence why i tried the cold water as this had every colour under the sun! does work ok,use the dylon fix they sell aswell and loadsa salt ;)

Waxintaxin:
easy way

add seat minus guts into a bucket

add shed loads of salt , 2 tins of dylon NYLON dye, little tins from woolworth , read the bumf and get the one for nylon.

then pour boiled kettle water over it all untill covered. stir , poke and generaly have some back garden science fun

about 30 - 40 mins , rinse and you have a black seat

works on kashis and shoguns so far , but any nylon seat should work ok
