So you want to dye it black ?

you might find the gold decals stay on there - but some times they can come off or dull a bit

if you bleach it in anyway - they will come off


you need Dylon or Rit dye
pot or pan
some salt

simmer water - not too hot that it boils
add salt
then add Dye
stir well
and add seat

as it only is in for a short time you will not need to cover the rails in any wax

gentle stir once in a while to move round the mixture

half an hour to an hour it should be done - if not put back in - but with black you can't go over as it will not get any lighter

hope this helps

and don't spill any or you will have to paint the kitchen black to match it all

cheers B  ;)

cheers B

Its black already, the gold lettering on the side is embossed on the seat, not stickers - fingers crossed they will be ok

thanks again :daumenhoch:

Just make sure you don't touch them while it's hot or let anything else scrape them when hot.
My method,
2x dylon black
1kg salt.
Big fook off pan
Plate upside down in bottom of pan to avoid any burning melting incidents
Simmer until happy with results. About an hour should do it. Mind you, if it black to start with, half hour could do it.

we need pictures don't forget - makes it a better read if you do  ;D

if they do come off you can put some decals on there and ride fast - no one will know the difference  :daumenhoch:

as soon as you take it out the hot water run it under a cold tap for about 5 mins this will cool down the gold lettering and stop it coming off-it you touch them whilst it is still warm they will rub straight off  :daumenhoch:
