Dyeing Dark Colored FRN?

Has anybody had any success in dyeing the darker FRNs out there, specifically the British racing green? I've been eyeing the ZDP Dragonfly for a while now, but I'd prefer it in black and am thinking about using some RIT dye. I don't think it'll be a problem since black is obviously darker than green, but I don't want to risk ruining a new knife.
 
I don't think it would be an issue. I dyed a pink knife to purple (hoping for red). I then turned around and dyed that to black without issue. If it doesn't come out perfect the first time, just do it again.
 
Black is about the only predictable color change you can get with FRN. You obviously can't dye FRN a lighter color and trying to blend colors often yields strange results. You should be fine going to black on BRG. :thumbup:
