Title: Tuff pro brake pads
Post by: badbuckle on February 10, 2006, 04:36 AM

Hello all, nice to be here.

I've just got hold of some Tuff pro pads but want to change the colour from yellow to red and was wondering if it's possible to dye them and if so whats the best way of going about it.

Sod's law, a mate got hold of some red ones a week after mine arrived and offered to sell me them to me but I thought i'd see if it's easy to change the colour now that I already have a set.Any advice would be well handy.

Cheers,

Badbuckle.

Here's a thread from OS-bmx.

People there say they have been able to dye pro pads.

Plenty of dylon, salt and heat!

Have a look:
