diesel:
I've tried and it didn't work:

- No the nylon fabric wouldn't take the dye fully

- yes the screen print did take up some of the dye

I had the exact same results as Diesel. Tried to dye a green padset black - ended up with a darker green padset.

I did these a couple of years back for my daughter's bike and they turned out really well  :daumenhoch:

mark 2:
Do nylon seats take the dye though? Aren't kashi's and Elina's nylon? And Tuffs? Is there any procedure not followed with the pads that was done with seats etc and then may work?
