Dylon, google it, you will get all you need there.

its all about the heat and the salt my man.

I have done 2 seats with great results both red and purple have gone black well for me 

Like this

2 round tins of Dylon ( the ones for nylon) woolworths by the shoe polish

one bucket

1 seat ,

shit loads of salt , normal table I used a big bag

put seat in bucket and puncture the tins add them to bucket

cover seat in boiling water

add salt

dye will come out the tins and dye the seat

stir , poke. look,turn over , add some salt for luck , add more boiling water for a laugh and generaly enjoy your manly back garden science.

and leave for a couple of hours

hey presto black seat, the gold is still there,so is the kashimax rear reflector sticker

It eould probably also work in the washing machine - I rememebrr going through a phase of dying my clothes black using dylon dye in the washing machine - and supprisingly.  it did not turn everything else black afterwards

Wrap seat in item you want black and give it a go


(Disclaimer - if it does not work - I have not tried it - run this test at your own risk

what's the salt for?
I've done one myself (with salt) and had a great result.

[jon016847]

I think the salt causes the chemical reaction to ensure the nyloy holds the dye and the dye sets ?

I've nearly destroyed washing machine with trainers wrapped in towels.

I can't see a seat being kinder to them !
