| I know this has probably been gone over but I figure I would share it with you guys. Steps: 1) Find a pair of wheels you want to dye and pop the bearings out (make sure not to lose'em...) 2) Go to any craft store, or even some supermarkets and buy Rits Dye 3) Get some really hot water from your tap and mix some die in a disposible bathroom cup 4) Once the powder has dissolved leaving the water the color of your die, drop the wheels in. 5) Wait about a half hour (for the darker colors but the lighter colors may take longer to soke in) and dry off! 6) Pop the bearing back into the wheels, and set back up on your board. 7) Go and shred the GNAR Just for people who might not have seen rits dye before here is a nice little picture. The one on the left is a liquid dye and the one on the right is a powder. If using the liquid one just add water as directed! Here is a picture of my wheels I dyed pink. Don't mind the picture, it makes them look deep red almost... |

| @MaxL: Just take a tool and push the bearing through from the inside out and it should pop the bearing out, but if that doesn't work find something a little smaller.
@mrjacobburke: I know this has tut has been done before, if you can read you would have read it say "I know this has probably been gone over but I figure I would share it with you guys." |
