Seems silly to paint them, but if the white still looks a bit yellowy would they not be the perfect candidates for dying into another colour? Can tuff's take to dye like that? They'd look mental in baby blue or something...

just not in the bath!! otherwise you wont be smeelinmg to great by the time there done.

Neat tesco thin bleach mate. Add no water.

Leave them in there for 1 week. Take out everyday and scrub them with JIF and a kitchen abrasive cloth (green abrasive).

Over do the grease on the hubs. They shouldnt need polishing

as they never were!

Yours will go whiter but they will never go minty white. Not like my NOS white set

Dont paint them. White alloy hubbed are really hard to find now. Pass them on and get summat else if theyre not white enough for you.

jT Racing · « **Reply #22 on:** June 06, 2009, 04:16 PM »

if i remember, weren't people adding peroxide to the bleach to get a white persil would be proud of? it was a few years ago but it did work and went quick as hell too.

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #23 on:** June 06, 2009, 04:38 PM »

i wish i could find a lovely white pair these are nice don,t get me wrong but i NEED LILLY WHITE

jT Racing · « **Reply #24 on:** June 06, 2009, 04:44 PM »

wish i had a talking fish.

try getting some peroxide from the chemist or hairdressing supplies shop and using neat cheap bleach. it should work as it has worked for many in the past.
