dye's wont work as your base colours are too dark, you could try rubbing the mask down with fine sand paper, and then spraying it the colour of your choice with a plastic paint.

Ive recently begun experimenting with mask spraying and changing the colour of my mask with great results


as you can see, it turned out great. However, being as flexable as it is, the sides are easily fractured if bent more than 45 degrees inwards. I didnt need to sand it down, i just applied acrylic plastic paint and sealed it with a clear seal. Its still as of yet untested on field however it will soon be subject to a brutal shoot out on a walk on ;)

It might be an idea though to consider a more sturdy mask like Grillz or I4's to paint/colour change.

the mask in the picture is an Empire Vents mask, sometimes mistaken as Events.

Because your asking, Im going to assume you actually have the Events mask (have extra side vents either side of the mouth piece?)

i used Kobra acrylic paint, its that good i didnt need a base coat. very smooth finish, non drip and instant adhesive to the mask. like i said before, only cracked when i bent the sides inwards for a stress test. the pic is the mask with 2 layers then sealed. its still to be shot at however i reckon it will be fine :)
