Can you dye ODK's?
« on: December 03, 2007, 12:11 PM »
Just picked up a set of painted and looking a bit rough but original Gt Performer ODK's which i'd like to get on my GT Pro Performer, but they are currently white with blue paint all over them, but cleaned up can you dye these like Tuffs? If so, has anyone done a set and was it successful? I'm probably going to do these Yellow and these will go on my custom black gt. LMK

i reckon your gonna struggle with getting the paint off but if you do i reckon you can dye them ok white to yellow should work ok ...........if you can get the paint off which "is a big ask " which i believe is the current terminology

Some of it has already flaked off which is good. I'll get the old nitro-mors out and give it a bash. I'll post up a piccy soon of the before and after  :daumenhoch:

OGK's-Mine were white and I reckon they would dye. if they are ODK's I reckon they are from the same factory as Lolex, la custe and Panonsic  :LolLolLolLol:
