Dying Goggles?

I've seen a few clips in ski movies (Not another ski movie, WSKI 106, Redtape, Yearbook) of non stock looking goggles. I know these might just be next year’s models, but could you do a custom dye job on a goggle frame. I play lacrosse and I’ve dyed a few of my plastic lacrosse heads in different colors, but do you think it'd be possible with a goggle frame?

my guesss is the same way with the lacrosse heads... RIT dye (or something of that sorts)

id like to do that too... i have white electrics and id like another color better but w/o spending madd cash

its simple enough. you take boiling hot water(or at least steaming but the hotter the better) and mix in a packet of RIT dye of the color of your choice. stir it up real good and dip whatever you happen to be dyeing into the dye. the longer you let it sit the darker it gets. Thats what i used to do for my lacrosse heads when i played. To get really deep colors you leave it in for like 20 min and pastel colors around 5, you can get a good idea from that and it doesnt hurt to just chill by it and check on it every once in a while.

This worked marvelous for lacrosse heads but lacrosse heads are made of super stiff and resiliant plastics. Goggles are a bit more on the softer side and i don't know if you'd wan't to make the water too hot as you might warp your goggles. Another issue is the face foam. since you can't remove the face foam from the frame it too would have to go into the dye and it of course would be dyed. You might end up with a ring of color on your face after a day of riding, and rit dye does not come off easy.

that's merely my speculation of what you could prob do, what would happen etc. im not responsible for any ruined goggles that may come about from my two cents.

Not worth all the hassle




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

use a small paint brush, with fairly thick paintm, then it is nimble, it iwll hopefully stay on, and you can have your new color

And get this, on the news the other day they did a big story about old people dropping dead from heat exhaustion. They urged my community to donate fans to keep them alive!! Tell you what, I'll donate my pubes to shove in their mouths, but I'll be damned if I donate anything electrical or useful. - random net person that i found on a site shown to me by apple

dont ever bleach plastics it makes them super weak. they become really brittle. but dont clear cloat them the dye from rit absorbs right into the plastic so its only gonna come off if gashed. o and u cant dye light colors over dark. i dye lacrosse sticks all the time.
