Actually, it did not require as much as I thought it would. In person it looks like old motor oil, I am quite happy and the Blood Red looks great too!

Oil black doesn't take a lot of dye its a combination of dyes to get the colour and its only available in Mayhems X1 and nothing else..

Mayhems X1 Oil Black on the left and Mayhems Pastel White on the right.
Were changing the Blood Red how ever due to staining issue, we are removing the UV aspect of the liquid as this is the route cause of the issue. This will have no effect on the over all looks though. If a user would like it UV active then the just add mayhems UV pink dye them self.

Under bright white light does it still look black or purple? I had no idea this stuff existed.

I don't suppose you can dilute the black w/ some white to make it a lighter shade? Or will it come out purple?
