I think your frame might have too dark of colors in it to be able to dye them the colors you want but I am not positive. I think you would have to have a lighter colored frame or dye the ones you have a really dark color, but im not positive.

you could dye them orange, but you'd still see the pattern and it would be a different color...it's impossible to make them one solid color except maybe black or some other really dark color.

Sorry but that would be impossible. They need to be white or a very light colour and have a matte feel to them, not glossy like your splices.

take those, put them in your dryer for 6 hours, go by the color you want or white so you can dye em. remove goggles from dryer.














or sell em but who dose that...

I've seen kids dye their gloss finish goggles, I think it just takes a little bit longer.

And yeah, you'd have to go with a darker color than orange, otherwise that print will still show. It could look cool though.

try bleaching them? fade the plastic a bunch then dye it? that may work. or just paint them white with a paint marker. friend of mine did it and his are sick.

You might be able to do that but you probably will still be able to see the pattern of your frame. So they won't be completely black.
