Rit dye is generally used for dyeing wheels. Do a search for "rit".

Here is the link to a how to on dying parts. Just look halfway down the page and read the part that says how to dye rims. This method will work for many plastic parts.

thanks for the link but do you guys no if i could use it dye my exhaust stinger and coupler?????????????????

My guess would be no. If the pipe is already black, then it probably will not change much. The coupler is already dyed as well, so same for that. Dye works the best on white (raw) parts.

You could also take it to a plating shop and have it anodized. It would also help protect the metal.

You can dye over any part as long as you are dying it a darker color
