I needed 4" tracks for the sides of my Ultra tankwell and found these YakAttack GearTracs on Amazon, $25 for a two pack of GTSL90 tracks.

Problem is...they're pink! It says they're built from some spectra type material. They feel like the same material as the stock kayak padeyes, but without the shine. I'm planning to paint them black. Should I just use krylon fusion spray paint?
Thanks!

Get some black RIT dye and mix it up real strong, then soak them.  About $1.25 for a package I believe. 

I used to dye motorcycle plastics this way, even plastic dirt bike gas tanks.    You might have to boil 'em in the RIT bath so do it outside on a camping stove or something, but first I'd just try in real hot water.   If they do start to absorb the dye, leave them in for as long as it takes to make 'em as black as possible.  Might take some days even, but I'd bet that a few hours or an overnight soak does the trick.

   After the dye,,, try  that Krylon Fusion for plastics...    Stuff sticks great.

    Or just hang w/ pink...  we all know anyway.

I had an Amazin gift card, so I was kinda set on buying there. For the 4" tracks, they had 2 pink ones for $25 & free shipping... or $25 & shipping for a single black one. I gotta paint em before the Forebay trip next wknd.
I'm using those rigging bullets to secure them. First time using them, but they look pretty solid.

Your link is for a pair of 8" not 4" tracks.

If you end up not liking the pinks, let me know if you want to trade for my blacks. 

I got my wife a Predator 13 for her birthday that came with blacks and I'm sure she would love pink.

Just paint them black and when the paint flakes off, you will have a cool pink camo.   :smt044
