Whats the general method people use for dying wheels? I fancy some black wheels on my losi!

[NeilD]

With Dylon use an old pan with simmering, not boiling, water in, plonk in the wheels add the dylon give it a stir and wait around 10 minutes stirring now and again. Fingers crossed nice new dyed wheels.

Im about to do the same thing so If I get some done Ill report back how easy it was.

does it work on yellow wheels, e.g. if they are yellow to start with?

Also, can I tie die em?

[OldTimer]

Yes it works on yellow wheels, i do use two pots of dylon to make it extra strong, and don't forget to add the salt.

[tc2k]

What dylon do you use, is it a certain type?

[OldTimer]

I use the Dylon Multi Purpose from http://www.chaffinch.com/

And when i do wheels i bring the water almost to the boil then leave to cool right down, if the colour is not there, then just repeat.
