<< < (4/5) > >>

bmxbob:
a few before pics, they have just been scrubbed up using normal soapy water, still off white  ::) but cleaner - bleach here we come  :daumenhoch:








still too yellowish to go on my white decade, maybe i should spray it another colour  ???

bmxbob:
mint  :daumenhoch:
what method did you use ?

aerostylie:
Cheers bud ;)

Ok, the Aerostylie receipe:

Bucket from Wilko's (20inch mags fit nicely) cost a few quid

12 litres of thick bleach to cover mag completely (I think it was Somerfield or Kwik Save own brand...it was cheaper!!)

Cleaned wheel as best with soapy water/sponge then covered axles/any metal parts with loads of grease

Plonked mag in bucket, with lid over bucket, left for 3 weeks

Then took wheel out after third week, washed it down with cold water, cleaned excess off

Then back in bucket again for another 3 weeks then cleaned via hose with cold water (lots of it) then dry off with cloth

Good luck fella..... be nice to see the Decade built up, doing one myself ;)

SE MARK:
I  dyed my skyways red in the bath today and was crapping myself thinking i hope all that  red dye comes off the bath . Well it did and they look the bizz .
