This was the turn for dyed the classic gem 'Bathory - Twilight Of The Gods Long Sleeve - 1991'.
I know the debate about to leave the shirt with the original old vintage color, but not for me.

Looks good brother. If you want to sell this one, i'd be happy to take it off you.

Big improvement! What brand of dye did you use, and any special tips for us brave enough to attempt?

I think you can use any black dyed, in my case I used a mexican one called El Caballito (Little Horse). I have used this one in my youth, so I know it works so well because it still exists ;)

1.- Boil enough water in a container to cover the shirt.
2.- Boil for about 15 minutes, the water has to be REALLY VERY HOT. As if you were cooking a chicken :)
3.- Pour 2 bags of black dye so that it dissolves in the water.
4.- Submerge the shirt in the container and turn it around in the water from time to time for about 20 minutes.
5.- Take the shirt out of the container and wash it with water only, until it stops releasing black water.
6.- Let it dry outdoors or in the dryer (that's what I did).

Enjoy!!

Hope it helps.

Now in doing this, the dye won’t penetrate the print? wonder how that dosent happen

No idea but it won’t hurt it at all, even the tag in this case:

I've also re-dyed shirts several times, just put them in the washing machine with the stuff down there, then wash them again normally and that's it.
It was always perfect!
