Default DYING BUGGY WHEELS

I know I can probably buy black proline or panther dish rims. But I really dont want to run dishes on my race buggy. I want to run JConcepts RULUX mutli spoke rims. But I dont know where to find PART dye for them.. Any suggestions on where to buy the black dye.

It's called RIT dye. You can find it in the crafts section or laundry section at your local Wal-Mart.

RIT dye. Thank you. How long should it take to make 8 dark black rims.

Depends on the plastic. Some will soak it up quick, others take awhile. I just boil water, dump in a bunch of dye (usually more than necessary) and let 'em simmer, checking on them every so often. I'd say a good 15-20 minute soak would do the job.

use something that wont be missed if by chance it stains it......i kno guys who have made the mistake and ruined a wife's or Girls cooking utensil and they almost loose their utensil..( if you know what i mean)....and leave it overnight at least....sometimes ill leave it for 48+hrs...but 10-15 min is Way too little time.
