Hello peeps

Thanks to Brummie I've got some NOS Sharp griplocks coming my way, only thing is they're green and I need them to be black
Now if I rattle can them they're going to flake straight away, but after a bit of googling last night I found this stuff
http://www.vinyldye.co.uk/Brillo%20Vinyl%20Spray%20Dye%20Black
They claim it works on most plastics, is waterproof and 'sets' into plastic so shouldn't chip easily
Has anyone tried this stuff before? Or do you have a better solution?

HUTCHMAN:
Autoglym do a black aerosol dye,don't know if this would be any good.

GTnumber1:
worth a try, let us know how you get on  :coolsmiley:

I thought that was just for nylon-based stuff, but never tried dyeing anything before
According to that site this stuff works on most kinds of plastic by 'melting' only a microscopically thin layer so it sets into it without dissolving

I like the idea of simply spraying a bit on rather than boiling vats of dye though so very tempted to try it out for research purposes
Might work well for other stuff too depending on how durable it is, seen positive reviews from people using it on car interiors etc
