Im getting a pair of rossi bindings for backups so when i get new skis i wont have to buy new binders. They're only 20 bucks mint condish cuz my friend wants to sell them to buy various hallucinogens. but anyways i was wondering if i could rit dye a pair of bindings without there being structural damage. I was thinking nothing would happen because they get snow on them all the time but could boiling water and or dye do anything to them.
Also would this even work out well, has anyone tryed it with binding plastic?
heres a pic of them

the breaks might be stuck, and so they wouldnt move, and the dildo end part might get stuck, not sure though.

why on earth would things get stuck?
its just hot water instead of cold water, i think that bindings should be meant to take some conact with water so im gunna go ahead and try it cuz i dont think it will damage them
ill post pics when its done

My buddy used a strong paint stripper to take off all of the sticks/logos on his px15s, he then pulled the plastic off of the dildo and painted that to match his skis. Totally custom look, and it looks tits!

They wont come out well.   The plastic is not porous enough.
