I've just got a few questions about dyeing stuff black..

can you dye goggle frames & straps black, since it's all plastic basically?

what about colouring helmets black, or just covering ugly artworks that come with the helmet (i.e. TJ & THall POC pro models, these however aren't that ugly lol)

last but not least how about dyeing stuff that's 60-100% non-wool, will it take on the colour?

asking this since I've got a grey necktube, thall canopys and a white helmet and I basically want all that just black (no more colourmess...)

thx for advices

Buy a new necktube for 10 bucks (yowie)

Dye frames and straps of goggles, not lenses

NEVER dye a helmet, just get a new one if color is really that important.

i live in switzerland, only good necktubes in black you get are armada and dakine, both damn expensive :/

never planned on dyeing the lens lol... so it is possible to just dye frame & straps, good good..

why not dye a helmet?

It breaks down the expanded polyethylene foam in the helmet that provides the cushion, so it essentially makes the helmet worthless protection wise
