Just got the idea to dye my marker griffons like orange or some vibrant color cuz i like the orange FKS bindings or whatever those ones are.

Has anyone ever done that or attempted it. I know I can use RIT dye for it, but is it a good idea?

if you already know what dye you need to use I'd say go for it, whats the worst that can happen...

Isn't rusting the springs and other internals a risk here? I wouldn't ever soak my bindings in anything. Also, gear talk.

realtalk. but if you do decide to paint your bindings cover the parts you dont want covered in super glue. I do it for lacrosse heads all the time and it works fine

Why would you want your bindings an obnoxious color? I mean, you will look like even more of a skittle jib fuck.

I want to see pictures of these said bindings when they are done. I'm looking to get a new set of skis myself and that would be sick if I could dye them. I'm getting marker 10's so they are pretty much the same thing regarding color.
