I have been working on a four player panel for awhile now and it's almost done but I'm frustrated by the four red bat tops I have for my Ultrastiks. The color scheme I have is red, blue, green and yellow and I would like to get something that would work with each, but I can't seem to find anything. I tried pairing them with acrylic but they chip after awhile and I just feel that there has to be something better that I'm missing. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do?

If you are going for black handles, some people have posted about using rit dye and boiling water like this (http://www.bmx-forum.com/t/183272/how-to-dye-your-plastic-parts-with-pics) BMX forum post.
Colors other than black will be far more tricky, if not impossible, to get right IIRC.
Shouldn't be too hard to dig up several related threads here.

Paradise Arcade has some very slick new anodized aluminum bat tops. Right now they're available in red, blue, green, and gold. But Bryan says they should be doing yellow at some point.
