I'd imagine you dye it the way you would dye any other piece of clothing. Drop it in some hot water, throw in some salt to open up the fabric, toss in the dye, stir it for 10-20mins, simmer for another ~10 or so, rinse from warm -> cold until water is clear, machine wash it, then finally dry it.

Same method I used to dye the new PCS Ryu's clothing from white to navy blue (to get that evil look). Just need to figure out the fabric blends used to get the proper ratios of salt and the correct dye.

As far as I know you can't dye polyester that way but only cotton fabric.

Should be the same (minus the salt), just need polyester dye (Rit DyeMore).

No die that's paint. I said the same as I did scorpion. Figured you guys seen my tips on that on scorpion thread.

I just act like I'm washing my hands in blue paint of my choice so I have some good water in there and then rub it flat handed all over the cloth and make sure there's no smudging and let dry. You can't just paint it because it will make the material to stiff so you have to have water mixed in there.

Just wash your hands with blue and well everything's real wet rub.

I do the same tactic for my black jeans every time I wash them.
