Where can I get a large cheap pot for dyeing seats??
« on: February 29, 2012, 06:46 PM »
Tried one of the supermarkets, along with Wilkinsons who had one in that was an annoyingly 5mm too small!  I have 2 seats to get stuck into, anyone have any good ideas that won't cost more than the bloody seat?

I had the same problem with dying a seat.  In the end I used just a Tupperware dish.  I know you cant keep these on the boil and I dont know how important that is but, my blue Dylon took okay to my Kashimax..

Good luck..

I use a normal plastic bucket,  stand it in a sink of boiling water,  fill with boiling water,  add salt/pepper/dye etc,  cover with a bin bag,  then a towel,  then heavy books to keep the heat in,  mix every half hour for three hours until done - sprinkle on mixed herbs etc,  done.

I've done about 5 in the last couple of months,  all spot on.....

Was just looking for a thread as i know i died a seat and used a cooking pot - found one on BW - here what i did and with what


was asked by AK GUFF to see if this kashi seat would bleach back to white - it was white but sun had damaged it, turning it to a lumo yellow in places

bleach took the side decals off, but sadly didn't it would turn any whiter due to the sun getting through the plastic

before (camera changes colours and hides some of the lumo yellow ) 





so later this day it went for a colour change as it has now been sold to Londonhellboy - red was the play



colour test, so it wouldn't turn out to orange - using scarlet red and 35% pargoda red dylon dye

















testing it out on my 83' Goose (no ! wife it's not being built up in the lounge slowly  :angel:/ >:D)





cheers B  ;)
