Copied this out of the Crowbar cult:



It's really not that hard, just MAKE SURE you use a stainless steel bowl to dye in... haha I almost made that mistake.

Yeah its really not hard, what i would suggest is getting the color you absolutely want in the pot before you throw your rigs in. Like test with a napkin, or something else which is white to make sure you have the appropriate color which you want. Dyed crowbars will 95% of the time come out looking great!

did anyone have issues with fading? i dyed my frame (its the blue-to-white-transition one) super dark purple/ borderline black, and they faded a ton in like a month. i washed them out a ton, and they were still real dark, but just sitting in my room, the top part where it used to be blue completely faded black to the original.
