Well i tryed it on a pair of grips....Uni Hand Grenade 2's in orange.

Before:


After:


So yes it does work

I used RIT dye and just boiled water added dye and a handfull of salt and left it for about an hour and voila i now have black grips....black would be the easiest to do cos it just stomps on other colours.
I am trying a seat now it was green but i needed a black one so it's in the pot.

Damn what a great idea! I have been trying to lay my hands on a pair of black Oakley B1Bs, now I know what to do with my extra blue ones

I was a bit dubious as to whether it would work on grips but it seems to have worked a treat m8 the seats almost done so will pop a pic of it up when i pull it out of the soup....also i used white zip ties to suspend it in the pot and they turned black too LOL

OK so this seat was greener than my face on a good Saint patricks day, note the zip ties i used to suspend it in the soup with:

Gee they came up nice Deano!!

Waz, Be very careful with Oakleys. Stu on the Goldy done some Oakleys and they came out green.
I have dyed a lot of stuff like Tuffs and seats but never grips.

Very nice job Dean, they look like new.

[Adrian H]

Nice Job Deano, they came up a treat.

How did you stop the sticker on the seat from going black? 

[RL20II]

I didnt Ads it just didnt dye i was worried about that but it just didnt go black,
I'm going to do some more stuff in the near future and will post results as i do em.

good to see someone had some luck, i tried to dye a white seat blue which I thought would be pretty simple and all i did was stain most of the bbq trolley timber and destroy my wifes good wok. ........oops.......... I haven't tried since but good to see someone have a win.
