Reply:That's not dye, that's heat coloring. The artist uses a torch and heats the steel up to the proper temp to get the color he wants. It's an oxidation reaction caused by the heat, the temp you heat the metal too changes the color you end up with. It starts on the lower end with the light yellows and progresses as you get hotter to the dark blues and purples, too hot and you get gray.
Reply:Hello nibex, the majority of that has been done with heat as ironmanqq stated, the other colors(the white and black lines) appear to have been done with a white and black steel paint marker. Just my $.02. Have fun and best regards, Allanaevald
Reply:The light lines look to me like they were done with some kind of Dremel tool.............everything else is just heat.6 Miller Big Blue 600 Air Paks2 Miller 400D6 Lincoln LN-25's4 Miller Xtreme 12VS2 Miller Dimension 812 4 Climax BW-3000Z bore welders Hypertherm 65 and 85Bug-O Track BugPair of Welpers
