Yeah, those lcaes look really good quality mate, nice basic colour range too. Will def hit you up for some of those when you get them.

You can dye the normal ones DJ - I've been looking for dye to do it in bulk but can't find anything cheap enough. Definitely worth doing a few pairs yourself tho!

Hmm, might be worth a shot. Have you tried with any specific brands you'd recommend? To be honest I'm not even sure where I'd buy dye for laces? A hobby shop?

Lars I'd use dyelon it works great someone on here did the vin laces in black and I dyed some bedding with it a few months ago easy as pie. They have a big range of colors too.

[Teaj]

Yeah Dylon is the main brand here but you need to use quite a lot of it to get a good finish. Maybe a max of 4 pairs per pack of dye. Give me a shout if you can't find any over there.

Cheers for the tip guys!

I did a quick check and it seems Dylon it's available in Denmark, but 200 g (one colour) cost around £8.50 – and it's supposed to be used in the washing machine along with some special salt. Is that how you guys used it to dye laces?

[ihatebono]

I'm sure I omeone on here just put some in a bowl of hot water and left them overnight but the washing machine should be fine. The salt is just normal table salt don't waste your money with there "special salt".

Cheers for the salt tip

I dyed a pair black with a packet of dylon hand-wash, a couple of pounds for a packet and i only used a third of it.

I used an old stainless pan and regular table salt, put a glass bowl in to keep them submerged and left them for 24 hours. Ran them through the washing machine afterwards to prevent them bleeding.

Give me a shout if you can't get the small packets, I've got a local store that stocks most of the colours.
