dye for wheels
What kind of dye do I need to dye my wheels and wing? Where can I get it at? How do I go about dying them? Any answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks

RE: dye for wheels
All you need is any color and brand of clothing dye, found at any Walmart/Kmart/whatever. Mix the dye with warm water and let the wheels sit in the dye. Check periodically so you get the right tint you are looking for. Super easy to do.

Good clarification. I didn't think about dye quality but should have--my wife only will use Rit brand for her sewing projects/tie-dye projects.
