Like the title says I dyed my goggles but there seems to be a bit of a problem. when ever I where the goggles the foam on the inside leaves a black outline on my face.

is there any way to prevent this?

After they soak in the dye you have to rinse them until all the dye is off just like dying anything else

those look so dope man!
the frames and riggers at least, i'm not a huge fan of the strap.

but like all these guys said, just rinse the foam really well. i suggest you take them in the shower with you and just have the showerhead do all the work.

FOR THE RECORD:
to make your life easier when dying goggs, and other items, you need to one, use salt in the dye for a richer colour.

and two make sure you soak the dyed item in a hot 50/50 water vinegar mix.  That sets the dye in, and you can use your hands to work as much dye out as possible from the foam.
