Dark Purple Grips
Ok, I feel stupid for even posting this, but anyways..
Anyone know of any grips that are a dark purple? Like that would match some eggplant deep v's?
Like the purple Oury's, but a shade or two darker?

it sort of works on rubber, i've dyed shoes before, you just can't predict the final product very accurately. the black RIT dye turned the canvas black and the rubber a dark purple.

Yeah, RIT black is blue-base like most modern black dyes and rubber and urethane don't accept it as well, I'd give it a try though.
P.S. My buddies use it for longboard wheels, it works.

I would love to see what happens when you ride RIT-dyed grips in the rain with your Rapha goatskin gloves...

i still remember the look on the coach's face when he realized that over half of our practice balls were now permanently pink.
