Dying Skyways Red
« on: March 14, 2011, 09:35 PM »
Ok guy what is the best dye for doing red Skyways? It seems that Rit is favoured so are you using the scarlet powdered or Cherry liquid? or should i use dylon for reds?

Cheers

Right - if you want to use dylon mp tins - there are a few colours

pargoda red - slight postbox red with a touch of fresh blood

scarlet - orangey red but rich like a robin red breast (no sniggering from the back please )

cherry flame - darker like a light red wine splashing around a glass with a touch of ox blood

the trouble is i have seen that skyway mags have a match of two mixed - pagoda red and scarlet
some of the older used mags have a mix of pagoda and cherry flame - this is years of the rich colour fading and dirt getting embedded into it
if you were to dye them just scarlet it would look to orangy - it need a mix of the two

so i would say pargoda red and scarlet dyed together should be a very close match to the original colour

this is just my findings and will be dying another set again soon that are old looking and need a freshen up

as for how to - find my dying threads


cheers B  ;)
