the longer you keep them in the dye the more intense the color.

it will be a matte finish but if you want a gloss finish just go to Home Depot/Lowe's and get some clear coat. spray that on and you should have a nice shiny clean finish

When I died my cbars with Rit i boiled the dye in a pot and let it simmer at a little under half heat. I let them simmer for about 45 minutes, took them out, let them sit for a few minutes, and rinsed them in cold water.
