I  think have just knackered a  nos front  white  Skyway up……. Tried to dye it green with five Tropical Green Dylons and salted boiling water , left into soak  for over 24 HOURS at hasn’t taken at all,  it looks like  a whitey green colour, far far away from the actual dye colour it has been submerged into. Cant lie I'm gutted !!!!  I am calling on you good people to give me some advise on  how I can rectify this situation. Hoping the wheel isn't scrap and I'm left with one nos rear white coaster Tuff Wheel. :-[

Miss you loads Dad

Aqua blasting should bring the front one up again....or peroxide.
As for changing the colour I would sell the white ones and look for a green set;;

How old is the dye?
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Bin the front and sell me the rear
Look for an og green set

The front won't ever be white again, you would have to redye, could be patchy

Heres a how from the only thing I'd do different is use RIT dye instead of Dylon and also if you could come up with a way to keep the water hot, I think someone use a wallpaper steamer by putting the end the steam comes out of into the container, someone else set a large tin container on a bbq.

Many thanks for all your tips people. Luckily  the bleach and then the peroxide has done the job! The Dylon hadn't hardly seeped in/impregnated  the Tuff Wheel surface . I am sticking with the white now.  Learnt a bloody good lesson there!

Much appreciated.
