Well just finished another set of skyways - razor'd and dyed - this set is for a trade of a mongoose Expert frame and forks from a mate - there gonna go on his chrome TA or the white TA he has - but I thought I would just see what they were like on my '82 supergoose ( going to be running sumo pro class on it )
He wanted a slightly deeper red and polished hubs - they spin smooth now
No rust anywhere

Great job on the wheels - how do you do the hubs without messing up the plastic around them? Do you use a Dremel?

tape them off with masking tape - fold over both sides and cut round the hubs - polish up and after wash off after with soap water (hand wash better than some thing like fairy liquid ) - the peek polish will wash off and after dry well, use a Goddards Silver cloth to polish up even more and shine sweet - job done and let sore fingers rest

it's a very tough job to match as it's not like paint (add more of this or that ) you have to work with powder and just try to see what is happening - you have to watch it turn - too far and it goes over - when it comes out it's two to three shades darker than when it dry's
there are a lot of factors when dying - condition of original mags - volume of water to dye to amount of time dying
