So you want it to get done with no cost and no effort?

Greg: Don't use RIT dyes. They're incredibly unstable.
Go to a craft store and ask for the fabric dyes that are used in cold water. It's not as simple as it sounds, but the results are actually what we THINK RIT will do. Their intensity and saturation properties are mucho potent.

Oh, and, if you look carefully, there are fabric dyes that come in spray cans. They were popular in the 60's and 70's, so I hear. Though, these days, you may need to read and write Chinese in order to buy them online. I don't know.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Actually, Mark and his room are responsible for both the peaks and the troughs in our knowledge standing wave; however, when summed up they cancel out.
So, thanks for nothing, Mark!

Greg: Don't use RIT dyes. I did use black RIT dye on some other grilles, and they looked fine for a couple of weeks, but then they turned brown. I also had the problem that the plastic-y frameworks of the grilles didn't like to be boiled in the dye solution -- they got distorted. I'll look for cold water dyes -- thanks for the suggestion. I also ordered some black dye that is specially for polyester, since that was my first guess about the material of the Axiom grilles (but it has to be applied hot).
