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.

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

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

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  :LolLolLolLol:

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

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  :)

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

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

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  :daumenhoch:
