Dying These - Anyone Tried?
« on: May 16, 2015, 08:58 AM »
I was lucky enough to get a set of these grips, kindly sent by Lee, cheers dude.

I'm thinking that for my Silver Streak build, the outer sleeves may be suited to bring light grey, so was thinking about dying them.

Has anyone tried it, and if so, had success?

I don't think they will dye as there is not enough Nylon in the rubber but might be worth a try

I tried Dan. They came out ok, but had a blueish colour to them. They looked ok in isolation, but were clearly a different shade to og grey ones

Dyed.


Original grey
