Dye doesn't make yellow ones, but APP makes "grip wrappers" in yellow. They say they're made for rental guns, but I always thought it would be cool to have some as well.

Has anyone use those before, r they comforatable or at least will they not fall apart the next day. Also does anyone have info on dyeing sticky grips to the color i want or anyway of changing the color?

Its easy. Use RIT dye (found at Walmart and hobby shops everywhere).
Boil water in a pot and stir in the dye. Take the water of the stove so it stop boiling. When it stops, put in the grips ( you might want to let it cool down just a little bit since the stickies are a softer plastic than what everyone is used to dying with hoppers). Its best to hold them with a ladel or something. Dont touch the water as it's hot and it will stain your skin the color of the dye. (Yellow wouldn't be so noticeable, but my hand was Scarlet Red for 2 weeks:p ) check the grips every minute or so. once they have the right color, run them under cold water to get the excess dye off. If they end up too light, put'em back in the dye.

While you have the dye mixed up, you might as well dye your hopper. If its clear, take the internals out, and do the same thing with each piece.

lol you get yellow stickies when you use clear stickies w/o gloves
