Anyone dyed Oakley 2's or A'me Rounds?

[mark 2]

Got a yellow pair of Oakley 2's and a white pair of bubblicious A'me Rounds, wanted to dye them black or maybe blue for the Rounds. Any success stories of failures out there?

Thank you

I tried to dye some yellow 2s black..

Boiled them up with two ebony black dylon pellets for a good hour or two and they didn't take...

They just went a horrid dirty green colour so I wouldn't try em..

I'll take a pic and post them when I get home tonight dude..

I did some bubblicious yellow AME mini grip as a test and they went to black just fine  

I reckon a white pair will go blue OK

I dyed turquoise Oakley O Wings Blue & they came out really good, I did chuck loads of dye in though

Thanks for the replies guys, do you think the 2's and O wings are diiferent compounds perhaps? Or is it all that unobtanium stuff they call it?

[CD17]

Yes I think Oakley 2s are a more plastic compound

2's are soft-ish, not hard and plasticky like a 3 grip. I know it's been said they don't take. Mmmmmm......is it worth the plunge?

i thought the same mark after someone told me not to do it and this was the result

like i said 1-2hrs on the boil with two ebony black dylon pellets

kept thinking it was taking but it wasnt
