Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!
The way I did it for my TP2 cover (I like to call it the "dorm room" method)
Get a regular bowl, fill it almost to the top in water, and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes. Once that's done, open the microwave and pour about 1/3 of the package of dye in the bowl. Mix with a plastic spoon, and drop the cover in the water. Let it sit for 20 minutes, and occasionally clip the cover. Once that's done, take the cover out and drain. Rinse, buff, and do whatever you like.

Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to use stencils on the cover when you do this? I wanna get a Philadelphia Eagles logo on my cover but I don't know how to keep the stencil on the cover when I dye it. Any response is helpful.
Also, with the baggie method, do you put the baggie in the pot just in case?

Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!
first clean the cover of all oils, then dye it a light color, then dry it, buff it then clean it again, place the stencil on making sure that the edges are stuck down real good, then dye the dark color, just make sure when you dye the dark color dont let it get too hot. clean it off, buff it out., that was the steps i did

Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!
So, I am pleased to report that I dyed my back cover today and it took about 45 minutes for it to work since I messed up a little =/ But it's so beautiful, I even added a stencil design for more originality =]
It didn't come out as clean as I wanted, but it still looks freakin awesome. Here's some pics.
