So is plastic, the dye does soak right into the rubber because the rubber is porous   :daumenhoch:

Right decided to give RIT a go




Boiled water, let simmer, added the Rit (all of it!!) couple of t-spoons of salt and in they went for 20 mins


washed off with cold water

Nice job .............Just be careful the dye dont come off with moisture ...

I had my hands on some grips that had been dyed and my hands were black as fcuk after

Nice looking results there  ;)

Only good for show though by the sounds of what Craig is saying  :(

Look the part though  :coolsmiley:
