Not digging the red Dumont frame with the grey.
The lens might not be fire so I took a picture without a lens.
Can I dye it a color other than black? I know you can only go darker so the lines will be there if I don't go black.
What color dye to create what color?
Also can you dye those nose piece things? One clear, one gold is not my style.
Click pictures to make them huge.

The only color besides black you could dye them is a dark purple by using blue dye. Riggers always turn out lighter so keep that in mind, the nose pieces are the same type of plastic as the riggers I think. Make sure to have something to stir the pot of dye with that you don't mind getting ruined. The dye smells pretty bad so open up the windows and get a fan going.

Kind of right. The reason one is clear and one is gold, is because the gold metal part popped off of the clear plastic. Take a flat head screw driver and pop the gold piece off in order to make it match the other nose piece.
