How to dye wheels

[Welshy40]

Guys,

I am trying to dye my wheels but have not got a clue how to do it. I admit I am useless at trying to figure it out myself so please can some one give an idiot guide on how to dye these poxy wheels and what dye you use. Cheers.

Sharpies

Dylon (powder) from Hobbycraft, use an old pan and add the wheels to simmering water with dye in, leave in until darkened enough. Then rinse under cold tap. Wear gloves, and don't put anything in you don't want dying.

Thanks. RIT dye is the way to go. So easy, bung it into the boiling water, reduce the temperature so it is just below simmering and bung in the wheels for 7 to 10 mins. The water didnt boil or simmer at all and the dye didnt spoil the pan either so well impressed. I will post pics soon.

Were did you get the RIT dye from pal?...is it readily available??

[Welshy40]

Ebay. I only used 3 quarters of the packet.

Picys attached for the colour of the wheels after I dyed them. Fuscia is the colour and is really close to the shell colour.
