I need to see pics of a painted stylus! You're gonna make me go get more RIT dye now...

Are you all serious you didn't dye your stylus when you did your batt cover. Well, stylus dyed with same RIT dye as batt cover. It did demagnetize the stylus a little though. But I just got a normal refrigerator magnet and rubbed it to the stylus a few times and it was just like new. Even stronger I think.

Wal-Mart also sells a RIT dye in liquid form. It costs a little more, but you don't have to use the whole thing for one session. You can just add as much as you need to a smaller pot of water, then you have leftover dye in case you want to dye something else.

Thanks for the pics. I think I'll pass on that since it demagnetizes the stylus. I can't afford to lose one of them!

It happened to me on the first two styli that I dyed. But like I said just a little and I just rubbed them with another magnet and it back like new. It might be even stronger than it was.

That looks a lot like a regular stylus that hasn't been dyed. Maybe it's just hard to tell from teh picture. Do you have a comparison shot with a dyed and undyed stylus?

Look at the tip... It's red. And they top part has more of a matte finish.
