Is there a way to customize/color full tilts?

I have burgundy full tilts when I bought them for 50 off in the summer and it was the only colour available in my size.

They don't match all my skis and I was wondering if there was a way to color them or dye them all black.

Sorry in advance if this isn't the right sub for this

Don’t do this because if you spray the toe and heel lugs the friction and interaction between boot and binding is altered in a way that it wouldn’t pass a release test, at least in my experience. OP, there’s a thread somewhere here about using dye to color them but it’s time consuming. You could always try that or like paint pens maybe?

The way you used to change the colour of plastic boot parts was putting them in Rit Dye overnight. there are even a few threads on here of people doing it. You could only make lighter parts darker so for you making your burgundy parts black, this would work. It's permanent though so you cant really scrape it off or anything. I'm not sure where you can get it still, maybe Target? try the store locator here: https://www.ritdye.com/store-locator/

I think I will try this end of january because I have a trip to go to and I don't want to fuck it up since it's my only pair of boots. Thank you
