Dying white wheels black, help
Hi all, not sure if i have posted this in the correct section or not, but I need some advice.
I have purchased a set of n.i.p yokomo yz10 white wheels, but I want to dye them black. I have never tried this before so am after some advice on how to, and what to use.
Thanks in advance.

Look for the liquid 'graphite' rit dyemore.
It's easy to dye black. I never boil but simmer the dye, the most important thing is that parts all stay submerged, and in the bath for the exact same length of time.

Re: Dying white wheels black, help
I recently dyed some parts and didn’t use the Dye More stuff until my fiberglass parts didn’t take. The graphite comes out very dark. When I did my parts I found a cheap pot at Meijer that had a little basket included to keep the parts off the bottom. Here’s a picture of what you’re looking for.

They will appear black. Under certain light conditions you can see some shading but it's very hard to see.
Real yokomo wheels should be dyeable with no problem.
