Damn, great jobs in here!

I've got some Atomic race boots (stiff and fit great) and I would really like to dye them..

Anybody dyed atomic boots? I'm not sure if it wil work.. the plastic is pretty uhm glossy?/shiny? will it still work??

And how much will the dye effect the red?? Thanks for any info!!

Anyone have any ideas for Rossignol SAS boots? They're all white and ugly as fuck (but super comfortable, which is why I got them). Anyone know if rossi's boots work with this?

I know it sounds like a stupid idea and probably wont work  but what if you die them white first then the colour you want?

yeah i was wondering about that too. you couldn't dye them but it seems like some sort of plastic specific bleach could exist that would lighten up the plastic and allow it to except dye better.

anyone know if there is anything like that?

if you boil your boots, you run the risk of distorting the alignment of the sole and/or toes and heels.  This is a common problem when you boil boots in order to soften them for stretching.

Use vinyl dye.. the stuff they use on cars... It absorbs into the plastic. You dye it white first... then whatever color you choose on top of it.

You can re-boil the dyed water, and add more dye if you want.

I'd go with the liquid dye personally, I used it on my lax head and it did a damn good job the first time.

Not really an option, the shop I go to only has the Seth's and the Classics, and the Seth's are the only ones they have in my size. I also prefer to get them from the shop to support the local business and also they do all the customization/fitting there for free if you buy from them.
