MKS Grafight X from white to black
OldGooseGuy:
Not sure if this has been covered before, but did you know that MKS Grafight X pedals can be dyed from white to black using the same Dylon method that is used for seats, tuffs etc?
I did a set back in 2003:
The only issue I came across was the plastic MKS end caps. At the time I tried matt black plasticote spray paint, and they looked ok at first, but since then I've chipped the paint through use & storage, and the ends need re doing.
Just wondering if anyone knows a better option for painting the end caps?

Good thread as you see more white versions of these pedals than Nos black ones :daumenhoch:

Never tried the rustoleum one but in theory it should be fine. They are called dyes, although not a true dye they do soften the surface of plastic enough to penetrate slightly and form a good bond. Just make sure you follow the instructions to the letter and clean the parts imacculately.
This place has some interesting coatings including vinyl dye
