I suppose if I had dyed a pony that was already some shade of blue, I might not have the intense fading that I've gotten from dying a white pony blue too.
Is your fade worse than the pony I showed in the first post? I'm fairly certain that pony was a light purple to start with when I dyed her to blue.

DD just offered up one of her Mintys to try it out.ETA: oooo!!!!!!!!! Yup, dries clear and shimmery. I think another couple of coats and we will have "Sparkle Mint". It's Folkart brand, Extreme Glitter. Silver hologrammy label, white shimmery paint. It's soo cool, I had to share this. But can it turn a transparent yellow or aqua pony to a grass green?

So how would you use vinegar? Do you add it in the water with the dye or after dyeing?
Vinegar helps a ton with nylon hair! After the pony has been in the dye bath 5 minutes, add like a teaspoon or half a teaspoon of vinegar to the dye bath. Per Rit Dye instructions
...Also do you guys set with vinegar? I do that for my tie die and it helps tremendously to set the color. Not sure if it would make a difference on a pony. ...
i dont know about ponies but when we dye things in class we use soda ash. not sure what that would do to ponies.... but i know it works great on fabric, yarn, and my hands!
you have to boil those ponies alive!
