Z rim dyeing

[dordymush]

just got a nice set of z's off oldschooldayz  .
wanna dye em black though as there faded blue.
got a pack of black rit dye for em.
is it the same method as tuffs ?.
plus do you need to keep the water hot or is leaving em in for a few hours with just kettle boiled water enough.
never tried doing wheels before so wanted to check before ruining them  .

dave, follow gaz "rollin" s method, wallpaper steamer etc.. should be a link about,, worked well for me tony.

yup follow the tuff way - blue will go to black or back to blue 

measure twice, cut once - read all threads on it for best results 

[dordymush]

blue wont go on my build dave the rave.

fook it then.get em in the tub and hope for the best.
might give em a light sanding first to see if that helps it take.

[brummie]

buy fookin black then ffs
no wonder parts are running out

Yep the rollin method worked a treat with the steamer to keep the water warm ... 

[dordymush]

i might dye em pink with yellow spots if you keep on you moaning ole cnut  

cheers  i'll give em a go and send brummie a picture as each one turns BLACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

the only reason they will need a sand is to smooth out the bad parts - it will not help the dye 

tell brummie what else you are going to murder

Oh yeah, finished mine off with a few coats of that blck shoe polish that you get in a bottle the type that has the foam applicator on the top, they give the same finish as WD40 but without the slippyness.

Hows this gone Mucka ? u tried dying brake cables Last time I dyed a seat I left it on the stove and started watching the footy   Next thing I know there was a bang   went in the kitchen and there was dye everywhere lol cos the salt had evaporated and blocked the vents in the lid on the saucepan and the lid had blown off   Good job my misses was out   Flooded the burners and stopped them all working , I thought it was funny but not her in doors
