How to make white fabric black?

**bossass** · 11-07-2006, 02:37 AM

So, I got these Burton AK Tech Gloves, and I like them, (they are all black with a white patch of fabric on the knuckles) but how can I color the white fabric to make it all black. I was thinking a Sharpie, but that seems crude. The fabric is kinda spandexy, strechy. Seems like it would hold a stain well. Any thoughts. Paint? Dye?

sew or iron on a patch of material. you could always find a cool patch to cover up the white.

Paint will be crusty and harm the fabric over time. I reckon ink would work. Actually Indian ink - available from most art shops. Black, very dark and it ain't never comin' out.

I have used a permanant marker to black out logos on my gear lots of times. It works fairly well, but you may have to put on two coats about three days apart to get even coverage. You will probably also have to re-apply during the season depending on how much use they get.

Two easy options

1. Permanent marker

2. Goto the store and buy some clothing Dye. I think its called Ritz. Walmart\Target\Etc will have it for sure.
