Hey guys, i just order a new pair of nike vapor grips, and i am hoping that there is a way that i can change the color of the latex my self. i know pimp my gloves does it, but is there anything that will change the color of latex and not damage the grip or anything??
...and the goalkeeper gods roll their eyes....
Pimp My Gloves puts a new latex palm on the glove; they don't color an existing palm. Adding anything to the latex will affect the grip, one way or the other.
Bit off-topic, but I saw a customer post on a specialist GK store site where the respondent had bought a pair of 'blackout' gloves. They claimed the (black) dye on the foam leaked onto his shirt (assuming it was raining when they were playing) and stained it. Is this possible?
Very possible. The dye has to permeate & over-saturate the latex with enough dye to make it appear black, or it will look dark grey or dark blue. Leakage after the fact is almost guaranteed. I've seen this firsthand when I use to do leatherwork.
