Thanks. I just used this technique: Lacrosse Head Fade And I just put some stickers on where the numbers are and heated them up a litle so they'd stick better before I dyed them. did you take the steel out when you did it Yea I got the rivets taken out and I took out the steel when I did it so it was only the holder I dyed. one more question what kind of dye did you use and where did you get it?? Well apparantly the best kind for dying this type of material is 'RIT' dye but I couldn't find any, so I had to use 'TINTEX', which is just fabric dye that I got form my local drug store. Also I had to use about 3 packages so the colour would come out as dark as it did.
