Title: YELLOW TUFFS
Post by: Steve P on February 25, 2006, 12:24 PM

Has anyone ever taken a set of WHITE Tuffs and dyed them YELLOW and what was the finished result like

Does the dye come in different shades and if so, which do you recommend

Cheers

Thanks ORB

Does the dye penetrate the nylon far enough to prevent wear when used

Cheers

Steve, I've recently dyed some white ACS Z-mags and Aero Zytecs, and they turned out pretty well.

Cheers Guy . . . I saw your recent post with your wheels . . . they turned out really nice mate  ;)

I have a new set of white Tuffs spare but I don't wanna ruin them if things go wrong. I would prefer to buy a set of yellow alloy hubbed Tuffs but they are fetching big money so I will probably take the risk and get me some dye instead  :-\

Cheers

Keep your eyes peeled Steve. I just bought a set on AUS ebay for £39. Still only about £70 shipped  :daumenhoch:

Yeah . . . got my eyes on both sets and waiting to pounce on the Tuff II's  ::)

I do like those Tuff I's but they are too early for my latest project

Cheers again
