Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!

Just finished mine, used RIT black dye and it came out PERFECT!
I used the whole packet of color in about 3 cups of water. I put the stove
between low and medium head (till a very small amount of steam was coming over the water) and place it in there for 15 minutes. I stirred every 15 minutes and viola!!!

Time to click the thanks button!!!

Yep, a couple days later and it's pretty much gone. Love it. Just wish my phone would answer calls. That's for a diff. thread though.

Just got done with Red. Green next. Not sure what color after that. Probably blue gunmetal.

Re: A $1.48 goes a long way... Black Battery Cover!

So any of you with diamonds, has anyone been able to fade their stock covers? Undye the dye that Sprint used? Just wondering if it's possible, cause if your able to bleach it out or use alcohol to fade it, you could do other colors besides black. Who has an extra cover and wants to try?

From other people's posts, 2-3 months of heavy use seems to be about the time a redo is necessary. Its the corners.
