Dying the buckles?

I got some dalbello kryptons 2020 I think. I like the black shell but don’t care for the red buckles. Will the dyeing process for shells work the same for buckles?

I don’t imagine so as metal is not as porous or malleable in the way plastic is.

You could try painting or plasti-dipping them?

Depending on the type of metal you can always anodize it, that’s a whole ass process though

I have no idea about any of that but, after a quick google, that’s def the move

i hated the bright buckles on my boots and i made them black with a paint marker and i'm actually impressed with how they came out, especially since i have basically no arts and crafts abilities and didn't put much time into it. def the easiest method and you could put more time and energy into it than i did if you wanted. PM me if you want me to snap you a picture of them when i'm home later so you can judge for yourself if it's up to scratch for you

That's not an insignificant process. Expensive on your own, and likely to fuck shit up. Anodizing shops usually have minimum quantities/prices as well for work.

Just get a paint pen. Or worry less about the colors on boots.
