What Color Tuuks?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was thinking about ridding of the boring white Tuuks on my Vapor XXV's and going with either red or black holders. I have red laces on them right now and I think it looks pretty sharp. I've seen a few pics with red holders and they look pretty sweet. Although black would look good to, maybe then switch to black laces or just keep the red ones. What do you guys think? I've searched and haven't been able to come up with many pictures of custom Vapors with these colors. Thanks for the input guys!!

Do Both dye the holder red then use a hot glue gun to cover some spots then dye it black. take off the hot glue and BAM you got both colors

also using XXV's and personally didn't like them w/red laces as it was TOO FLASHY (:)) (now using black)

would go with black LS2's if I dared to take them off to dye 'em

If you're seriously that worried about what color your holders are, just be honest with yourself (and everybody else) and dye them a pretty rainbow pattern.

Did I ever say I was that worried about it? I just got bored one day and thought it would be cool to have them look different then everyone else's Vapor skates. No different then someone wanting certain colored gloves or dyeing a piece of equipment.

What kind of paint did you use? This sounds like something I might end up doing to my skates.

A long time ago I used spray paing (I was a kid, it was worth a shot), and that chipped off pretty bad after a little while.

The black holders look like tuuk custom + to me, which you could get in black so why paint/dye them? :rolleyes:

why go through the hassle of changing & cost of new holders when a $3 can of paint does the job

also, i don't use these anymore (wrong size)

flat (matte) black enamel - probably Rustoleum

tho no guaratees as i never actually used them once they were painted

Is there a guide somewhere on how to dye the holders?

Thanks guys. I will probably have to go with the painted one, because I've never took my blade apart like that to dye them. It probably holds up better that way, though.

You can leave the blades on to dye. The steel will not absorb the RIT dye like the plastic will.
