My grey ones failed miserably and i'v now done them twice with Rit dye. My next port of call is to try Dylon.

I'll get some photos up in a bit Swindon mate so you can see for yourself.  :daumenhoch:

You may get the same results with Dylon - but then i don't know what technique was used - but the grips have rubber and not nylon or such properties that dylon sticks and stay in it
