top result.i best get some more dye and try mine again then.i tipped loads of salt in when i done mine and it never took at all.i'll try your route then and see how they go.
They look fookin ace mate I just hit the link and ordered some RIT myself.... gonna have a go a dying some NOS yellow Oakley 2's to black and will post up pics too ... shittin it a bit though as I paid a shit load for these grips but I need 'em black
