How to dye a wheel-Step by Step(pics included)

[Pat Sosa]

I wanna die my wheels but I don't have any other bearings to put in since the last time I took my bearings out of my eagles they got all jacked up

 

[scootmelbourne]

yeh but they dont go on easy either, my bearings stuffed up when i managed to get mine in!

 

[SCOOTorDIE!]

Sick! Thanks!

Edit: what is that green stuff in your core before you put it in the dye?

its hot glue

 

[Shorty26]

What the hell is a hippi status style dye?

 

[scootmelbourne]

[matr!]

Dyeing my wheel now. The colour is called fuchsia

 

[matr!]

It was originally clear... the colour was meant to be like pinkish but I think I put to much in...

[matr!]

Yeah but it does have a pinkish tinge to it... next time I will only put a fraction of tha dye in. I might do my front wheel later...

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Used Blue Dye, redness is off the cores :/

 

[matr!]

Ouch. That sucks. What kind of dye was it? It was probably strip and dye

 

[T-Sell32]

What color was this to start?

 

[ridescooters3]

Probably white.

 

[scootmelbourne]

yeah it was white before i dyed it scarlet

 

[tbiker67]

hey when your dyeing them does the writing(if there is)on the wheels stay the color it was. cause on some i see it does but not sure

 

[devinthedew2]

Yea it matters on how long you keep them in but most of the time it just fades it

 

[dan1994]

[devinthedew2]
