yes it will turn green  ;)

 :shocked:but

it will be a dirty green like army green

when making a nice bright green, it's yellow with a touch of blue - but when adding blue onto a yellow seat it might just turn blue but it will not be a kashi blue as far as i can work out and know - it is more than likey to make it into a sea green / army green

it's hard to say but if the seat is worth money then i would just dye it yellow and sell it and put the money towards the right colour seat

this is just my thoughts - so see what others say

Why don't you buy a repop dominator seat in blue from pork chop. They are reasonably cheap and are exactly the same as the original. Just stamped with a current date. I take it that you want it for your Haro retro so I can't see the problem with fitting a repop. If it was ment to be era correct it might be a bit different. Hope this helps stu :daumenhoch:

Bear in mind, if you sit on it, the dye will rub off on your pants, and you will end up with yellow showing back through on the seat.  ;)
