Dying the Dye stickys? Didn't think it was posiable. I read up and asked people what they thought would work on them and they said to use "RIT" Dye. I belived it becasue some showed there werm bolts they dyed and some other misc. stuff. Anyway...

Dying the Stickys Process and Procedure:
Take Pot fill half way up with water
Put the Water on high
Get some Tongs so you can move the stickys and pull them out
After water starts to boil put your RIT dye in and Stir it
After done stiring place the stickys in the Dye/water Mixture.
Ok, now here comes the fun part. If you want a fade just grab the stickys by a corner and dip them in the way you would like the Fade and slow progress to dye the rest of the stickys until you have it as dark as you want it. You can make them dark as you want or as light as you want. I choose a dark color so it wouldn't show all the dirt build up and sweat and what not from your hands after days of playing. Let them dry for 10-15 minutes and if they have some extra dye that think dab off with a paper towel. Well here is the finished product....

Ok, I thought all of the Important stuff was supposed to be in Deep Blue or whatever? I thought that it was pretty cool and I would think that everyone should know how to dye the grips? Unless you put it as a classic then thats the only people will be able to read it.

RIT dye can be bought at most crafts stores and I think even grocery stores carry it. The dye is pretty cheap. Also, you can not do anything other than clear grips. The up side is that you can do your clear hopper! My friends did it, looks pretty good too. YOu can pretty much dye anything that is plastic.
