if you want black ones just trade!

are they the red ones? putting them in blue dye could make them purple, that could be sick

1-Buy clothing dye.
2-Boil a lot of water (because it has to cover the whole goggles.) and mix with the dye.
3-Make sure you disassemble them.
4-make sure the water is simmering the whole time.
5-check on your goggles to get the right color.
6-Wash the foam thoroughly with cold water.
7-...
8-PROFIT!

For the color, the one you can do are basicly everything darker than red, so, no yellow, orange, pink, any of those kind of shades!

I dyed some wisdoms and washed them a ton. Now why would the foam be rough? Does this happen to everyone?
