Title: Apart from Big balls ,,who's had success dyeing grips ?
Post by: hunterdubber on June 29, 2010, 10:49 PM: Ok we've all seen the J.T dyeing grip thread in Tech and resto

Last year I tried a set of NOS Oakley .5's in yellow ,,,,, fooking no chance , ruined and gutted :crazy2:

just got myself another set of grips that needs the J.T treatment

but I know if I ask him to do 'em for me , he'll just give me a load of witty pm's :yahoo_silent:

Who else has had good results , and did you use Rit or dylon ,gimme the Colonel's recipe , mi dearies ;) :-*

Post by: hunterdubber on June 29, 2010, 11:12 PM: Mine ended up like half done ,,,mucky yellow

cant they be bunged in again

I tried them for about 3 to 4 hours for a couple nights, heat whacked up bubbling away like fook, only in a roasting tin though

Would it make a difference if I got a big ol' pan jobby ???
