Skyway BBQ first time dyeing wheels
« on: October 04, 2008, 03:58 PM »
Hi all just wanted to share my dyeing with you all as it was my first proper attempt  :LolLolLolLol:
This is how the wheel started

This is my equipment i used  ;D a 205 ltr drum cut into 2 bits, the bottom bit filled with bbq coal and the top part for the water  :daumenhoch:

And the finished product  :daumenhoch:

I left them in for 2 hrs each but one didn't take too well and put in again today for 5 hrs which did the trick. I turned them over every hr, as for the hubs bit of autosol and job done  :daumenhoch:

There's a whole section on here about dying Tuffs - Rombloke is down in folklore as the master, but these do look good :daumenhoch:

Must admit, they look great but surely someone would have swapped a fairly rare yellow set for a common as muck black set? :2funny:

I'm going to ask the daft question, but I'm assuming you lit the BBQ to keep the water hot? Or am I really being thick, and you really wanted to cook your kippers....... :crazy2:

Anyone got any experience of dying a white one to blue by the way?

Hi spen, yes it was to keep the water hot whilst dyeing and rombloke on here gave me some advice, also munners (nick).
