I vaguely remember someone dying a set of blue oakleys black on here a while back - can't remember who  :-\

Try a search  :)

I guess it will depend on the material the grip is made from / how much dye / how long left in the dye / how hot the mixture is kept etc. as to how good the results will be  ???

You not tried trading them first ?

black should cover most primary colours, although black over blue would work better..........
