Can someone point in the right direction, trying to dye grips from yellow to blue, did the Google search on it, used Dylon heated to 100deg left them in for 16h pulled them out with no change in colour what so ever...

Some grips will take dye and some won't. Never tried myself so not sure which tbh. ???

Wow, great job Tim! I tried to dye a teal pair to black using the usual rit/dylon method, and messed them right up :'(

Word of warning on the dispersion stuff, it is lethal if you spill it! will stain anything!
Also on a more technical note it is a dye that migrates inward over time. If you use too much dye or leave the grips too long the dye will be overloaded and start to leach out leaving a powdery residue. for a pair of grips you need NO MORE THAN A level TEASPOON in a pan big enough to take both the grips at the same time. Never let the water boil or even simmer. Just hot enough to produce steam. Black should take no longer than 15 mins. if you leave it for ages your hand will be constantly black :D
