Has anyone dyed their frames?? If so which dye did you use? I have a pair of dbs frames I want to dye black
I have used Rit dye on acetate, but it is difficult to get a very big color change at the low temperature that can be safely used. Changed to moderate color is doable, true black may not be.Has anyone dyed their frames?? If so which dye did you use? I have a pair of dbs frames I want to dye black
That's the exact pair I have!!I found one gold pair for $50!
Black is the color I would be going for, on an acetate frame, my tort OP dbs. I have the matte brown and wanted a black pair so I may give it a try.

Make sure you wipe off any sealer or polish they may have used. Naphtha should work, i.e. treat it like you are prepping wood to be stained.Black is the color I would be going for, on an acetate frame, my tort OP dbs.
