Title: DYING TUFF'S?????
Post by: dwain dibbly on December 20, 2006, 01:19 PM

I've managed to get a cheap pair of white tuffs.
I'm wanting black ones so thought I'd give dying them a go.
has anyone done white to black?
do they end up proper black or a washed out grey?

I tried white to green back in 85, with limited success. The break blocks eventually wore through the dyed layer.
