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.

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.

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.
