Apart from Big balls ,,who's had success dyeing grips ?

[hunterdubber]

Ok we've all seen the J.T dyeing grip thread  in Tech and resto

Last year I tried a set of NOS Oakley .5's in yellow ,,,,, fooking no chance , ruined and gutted 

just got myself another set of grips that needs the J.T treatment

but I know if I ask him to do 'em for me ,   he'll just give me a load of witty pm's 


Who else has had good results , and did you use Rit or dylon ,gimme the Colonel's recipe , mi dearies

.5's go piece of piss, strucking with some other oakleys at the minute tho, gonna give em another go, they are almost there just need a bit more

[Bettyswallocks]

Just chuck em int bin and buy some new un's... 

[hunterdubber]

Mine ended up like half done ,,,mucky yellow

cant they be bunged in again

I tried them for about 3 to 4 hours for a couple nights, heat whacked up bubbling away like fook, only in a  roasting tin though

Would it make a difference if I got a big ol' pan jobby

I'm not bothered about the Oakley's , I've written them off   £50 down the pan

What he said  I've had success with ODIs and Oakleys, just like big balls did I kept them low and on the stove for a long time, all good

you  wern't telling me how to dye 'em   


and painting doesn't count   

[meticulous]

 

painting is the way forward,like flares, i read it in my horoscope.....

[baldbmxer]

Yeah get them painted. Someone did some Tuffs a while ago and they looked a treat. Its the future 


I have a Bassett project on the go and instead of using decals I painting the rainbow stripes on.
