Dyeing Nylon/Nylon Bushings
Man, I just dug around - Jim LaBreck used to have a writeup on it ages ago. I used his technique for dying some blue silicone couplers black.
From what I remember, it was quite easy. Get some Rit dye from the grocery store in the color you want, and find a pot that you don't mind throwing out when done. Follow the instructions for heating the water and adding the dye on the Rit box. Then, pop in the bushings to the water, stirring them and checking frequently. When I did my couplers, it went pretty quick, and was quite easy.

lol, I guess Jimlab is a harder man to get a hold of these days? back in the day (00-01 era) he was always more than happy to help. Guess getting barraged day after day takes its toll, I still love my bushings though
