I've seen an Odyssey leading edge seat on the bay. The main part of the seat is black but the rear part is grey. I was wondering if you can bleach/dye this rear part so that it goes to white. You can remove this rear part and refit it after. Can anyone help or has anyone done it before?

Need to see a picture

but in practice of dying and bleach the slight rules are - if the dye has been put in at the process of making then the dye will run the whole way through - so the bleach will only take out from the top of the surface and a couple of mm in some times - the colour will be zapped out and some times only dull /fade the colour

it just depends on the seat and what it's made of

I'll try and get a photo up tonight. The auction is ending tonight, so I'll try.

Here are some pics of the seat. As I said before , the rear part looks like it unclips from underneath.

Just looked at the pic's - sorry mate will not bleach white $:-\$

as for dying - it might but it has to be a darker colour and if it doesn't have any nylon in it when it was made it will not take - if it does it might dye ok

it's never easy to tell till it's in yer hand

is the plastic hard or soft / you don't show how it un-clips

if you were to dye it what colour are you looking to go ?
