Title: What colour blue dye for Kashi?
Post by: hunterdubber on February 28, 2011, 09:58 PM

I've had a few marks on the back of my Kashimax MX and wet and dried them out ,,all good except the colour rub/fade

hence me needing to give it a mild soak in a tub of dye

So what's the right colour for a blue Kashi


Is it the same as Madonna blue Dylon as you'd use on Skyways

or is there a Rit that's a  better shade maybe not as dark


Any tried and tested ,successful tips  ;)

dylon modonna blue - one tin - it will be close, but check to see the change and when it needs to come out - in water it will be a bit darker and when dry it will be a bit lighter than you saw before  - you could add a pinch of navy blue and a pinch of kingfisher to bring out the blue in the real seats - but you can bleach and retry it again if not right

(don't forget there is a flash on the camera )

this is the darker colour they look when wet

and when dry

kashi seat is a bit darker and has a touch of dark/navy blue and a touch of turquoise/kingfisher hidden in it
