Proto sliders and dyeing.

[cralle]

Alright, so im getting a pair of sliders and im thinking of dyeing them black.

Ive read that using boiling water messes up the glue so I was thinking about boiling the water up and adding in the dye and then let it sit until the water is cold enough to put a finger into it.

Could someoneelse share how they dyed their Proto wheels and how long did the hold up?

it doesnt really do much, ive done many protos and re-dyed them a few times each, nothing happened to them. and you can dye them in cold water.

You just have to leave them in boiling water over night and it should be black i basically started dying scooter wheels well atleast the first to post it on SR

just use cold water and let them sit all night, i dyed my protos in december and the dye is just now barley starting to rub off but the wheels are still perfect.

I tried to dye my sliders (they were ridden so they were yellow-ish) I did all the steps right and even left them in over right and they turned like green o_o

 

[Jacob2195]

you prolly didnt add enough dye, you have to add like almost a whole package

 

[Stackies]

I added all of it.

I hate dying wheels, Proto needs to start making black urethane again

 

[Stackies]

and fullcore wheels! But Andrew said hes not doing either of those again.

 

[Gaston]

do it normaly, then freeze you wheels so the glue can dry

Alright ive done some research and found a dye called Dylon Permanent black which is supposed to be better then RIT and you can use warm tapwater

And yeah Proto should add in atleast one more colour on the urethane but fullcore doesn't really matter to me.

Keep them in there longer and use more dye make sure you boil the water on the stove first.

 

[Cheezel]

do you have to boil the water?

 

[devinthedew2]

If you want your want the wheels to stay the color you dye them longer.
