alright, for my 10/11 hotdoggers, I want to make them grey and black. I'm gonna do the tongues and back grey, which I know I can do. My question is, if I dye the red black, will it go fully black, no purple bullshit? same goes for my blue/pink lava splices, I"m hoping to dye them black but still have the print somewhat visible. +k for help

I just want to know if the boiling of water could screw up the plastic and the boots could not fit me feet no more..

i have those boots (yeah i know racer boots but this is what happens when the 31.5 fulltilt are too small)

and i want to dye them to black !

Do you think that everything will turn black ? this is want want..

And do you think that they grey part on the side and on the top will turn black too ?

THANKS !

Seen a few threads on painting and dying boots/gear recently so felt a bump of this would be helpful to other who have problems with using the searchbar

I have some atomic race type boots which are white with red cuffs, it doesn't look like the cuffs can be removed, they appear to have a welded hinge. Anyway to get these off? I'd like to dye the white to something else, maybe try some designs or stencils. want to leave the red alone. Or alternately, any recommended way to mask off the red?

Thanks much--

I tried this today with my FT Drop Kick, Going from yellow to black. Using Rit dye liquid dye and the color isn't sticking to the boot. not even remotly close after 15minutes.
what's up with that? do i have to ad salt or any other product?
or is it normal Rit dye in pulver-form that you guys use?
thanks!

I dyed my red Hot Doggers black with RIT dye and yah, it won't show after only 15 minutes. I left mine in for like 2 or 3 hours I think. I didn't add salt or anything.

Not at all, it was actually very easy surprisingly. I took a picture of it before just to make sure, but it wasn't really necessary.

Did u leave the boots in boiling water? I didn't have a kettle big enough to fit my boots in so i just heated anough water to fit into a bucket big enough to fit the boot. still no result after 1 hour.
when i poored the water in the bucket from the kettle it was boiling, raped towels around the bucket to keep the heat. after 1 hour water was 60 celcious.

Long story short: do i need to keep boots in boiling water through the whole process or should the way i did it work?

I had the same problem when i was dying my rollerblade boot that i didnt have a big enough pot so what i did was start with boiling water mix up the dye solution as directed on the rit box then left them in the what was boiling water over night and drained and washed off the excess dye and ended up with sexy kelly green razors
