Post by: Minwah on May 02, 2013, 09:13:53 am

With regard to this trackball:

...does anyone know if it is possible to buy solid coloured 2" balls from anywhere? I'm thinking of getting one of these trackballs but don't want to light it up...I would rather have a plain black ball.

You might be able to use Rit Dye to turn it black.

There's a tutorial here (http://www.bmx-forum.com/t/183272/how-to-dye-your-plastic-parts-with-pics).
