I have 4 x black rit dye pack... and 2 jiberish pieces that i don't like the color :)

2 x 88 back yellow so i'll try to dye one of them.. and also have a gray j-flight (but i don't know what will happen with the sleeves)

i never dye something before so i'll like to know what do you think that will happen and how many pack i will need to use to dye both pieces.. i want them dark or grey/dark..

I'll as well let you know what happen and put some pictures..

the yellow one will dye fine if you are just going to black

not sure about the j-flight like you said, the sleeves might present a problem

i mean, you can dye goggle frames and boots with rit dye, so there is a good possibility that it will work for the sleeves of the j-flight.

i don't think the sleeves would be a problem if you let it soak in the dye.

oh and definitely make sure you get all of the extra dye out of the stuff before you wear it. I know a kid who dyed his Crowbars but didnt get all of the dye out of the foam and the foam left rings of dye on his face for days.

haha yes i've seen this same thing happen with goggles, the dye gets left in the foam and boom; raccoon-like circle around the eyes.

RIT makes a product that helps you wash out the dye. i'm sure you can purchase that at the same place you got the dye originally.

Go to any grocery store or drug store in the detergent aisle and it will be there. Sometimes it takes some looking.

after thinking about it, i don't think dying the gray j-flight is a good idea..

to you think that i could just soak the grey/blue cotton body and put something like rubber tape on the sleeve ?
