if you put green dye on it it will turn green onle. yellow+ blue =green. yellow + green = green. i'm not sure if the yellow will influence the blue dye and make it green, but i'm pretty sure i know what green dye is gonna do.

What do you think guys, madonna blue

jT Racing · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2008, 06:24 PM »

it's a nice seat to start fooking around with. i suppose you can allways go black if all else fails. go on, be brave

PHIPPSIO · « **Reply #9 on:** August 07, 2008, 06:25 PM »

yeah agreed JT, I could use it in black so its worth a go. Ill post results

Rare as fook them seats for Fiola builds.

Dont do it!

I know yellow Kashi's are the hardest to dye.

Steve P · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2008, 06:41 PM »

It can only go one of two ways Dom ... either blue or fooked

The Shotgun take the dye very nicely ... have you got a decent size pan to keep things simmering over the gas

PHIPPSIO · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2008, 06:54 PM »

I dont have a pan yet Steve, but im getting one tommorow. As Gordon Ramsey would say " if its blue its cooked, if its green its fooked" .....something like that

Rombloke · « **Reply #13 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:14 PM »

i fancy that will take a dye dom.

like you say....if it goes pete tong....then it goes black

Not sure i would try it

I tried to dye a white seat red, and the best i could get was a nice rich orange !!

Tried many times even on the cooker .. still orange

sawzall · « **Reply #15 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:26 PM »

dom,i have done a yellow seat with blue and it came out ok,it was a bit darker but looked ok

PHIPPSIO · « **Reply #16 on:** August 08, 2008, 02:00 PM »

Thanks fella's . I have dyed the little blighter now and its done exactly what Phil said, gone blue but a darker shade. Not too bad, i may offer it up to the bike in question and see how it looks .......then its going black if it looks shite

Before

3 madonnas later

Yeah ok, black it is

Steve P · « **Reply #17 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:14 PM »

That turned out rather nice Dom

can I look after it

PHIPPSIO · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:30 PM »

yeah she's not bad Steve, a little dark but the logo's survived almost untouched. I noticed that it was slow going until the water started boiling and then it went like a rocket. I did my blue zeds as well and they came up a treat too

im happy........im a happy boy

munners · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:35 PM »

Where did you get a pot from mate and how much?

Cheers Nick

poolysheriff · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:39 PM »

How easy is it to dye a blue Kashi seat bluer $:-\$

Needs to be dark like tuff 2 colour blue

sorry Dom

PHIPPSIO · « **Reply #21 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:44 PM »

There you go Nick, £12.98 from b and q, fits nicely on the hob and submerges the seat completetly

munners · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:46 PM »

Very clever!

How the hell did you get the zeds in it?

It was pretty tight (as the vicar said to the nun)

I put them in a big placcy bucket from Homebase and poured the used blue water over them as they only needed a little bit of attention and no boiling up

Dylon should work wonders on that seat Gary ... this is the colour you're likely to get using Madonna Blue
