So every site I've found says that Blue dye and Black Korina don't mix. They are probably right. However, I have this fantastic black korina P Bass body and need a bass for a Maiden Tribute.
I purchased some Keda Royal Blue Dye. I mixed roughly 7 ounces of lacquer thinner with one half teaspoon of liquid dye. I say roughly because the lacquer thinner pulled the red from the measuring cup plastic. Luckily I was using a glass jar to mix and noticed the red tint. I could not find a glass measuring cup so I eyed it up from what I poured previously minus a bit. I used about 2/3 of the dye mixture on the first coat then added about a half cup more lacquer thinner and a half teaspoon of dye for the second coat as I was worried it wasn't blue enough for what I want.
Here are my results so far.
New body sanded to 180 per manufacturer instructions:

First coat wet (really getting concerned here):
