Title: Kashimax Seat Dying - Interesting or maybe not!
Post by: phantom photon on October 28, 2008, 08:55 PM

Just dyed a couple of NOS kashimax seats black. Both were done at the same time in the same bucket for exactly the same amount of time. The gold decals on the side of the the one on the bottom of the pic have completely come off (it's the same on the other side also) whereas the one on the top is perfect. Must have used different materials for the decals during manufacture ???

Got some replacement decals from cbrgil though so will be sorted in no time  :daumenhoch:
