Dye a T-Bag

This is a little late Ray but the bag is made of woven monifilimant strands of polyester, very tough material but it is colored in the manufacturing process and thus the reasoning for not taking the dye very well, you may want to try to get a can of automotive paint made for plastic bumpers that has the flex additive in it and try and spray it as thin as possible so it will flex better, should work fine as the strands are rigid enough to accept and hold the paint.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it. Guess I could shoot T-Bag an email to see what they say. Maybe they will give me a new one! :D

Dang Ray, just because you put a ga-zillion miles on stuff and wear it out, does not entitle you to a new one!

First your bike, now the T-Bag!:roll: :roll:

I would give the vinyl paint a shot.

They sell spray dye in a can for car interiors at pep boys.....I've used it before and it is pretty good stuff especially when you are staying with the same color!
I re-did my 70 Camaro's interior with the spray stuff, it worked GREAT!!

You owe me 2 new sets of trops damnit! I knew I'd find the culprit... Yeah right, as if I'd trust any public laundromat near a Navy base to wash those. :lol:
