Dying Repop A'me Grips - Anyone Done It?
tfi_friday:
Pretty sure any time I've seen someone attempt to dye Ames, it's been unsuccessful.

Turns out the pink to purple spectrum is well represented with my dyes. You might be in luck Dan :daumenhoch:

Sorry to jump on your thread but may as well keep related topics in one place. I have a set of red OGKs 77-17a that I want to dye black. I have tried the Dylon method and it just turns them brown how ever long I boil them for. I also suspect that what little colour has taken is just resting on the surface of the rubber. I have done a little research and there does seem to be products out there that are designed specifically for colouring rubber but again they state that not all rubber will work. So what im asking (before I try something that is untested by myself) is there anyone out there who has a wealth of testing in this area who would be willing to share their knowledge? Any help is much appreciated and hope this post is ok Retrodan72 :daumenhoch:
