I just got a tan one from ebay as well, but I paid 51 dollars plus shiping for mine, its supposed to be mint. But its the wrong color! How can I dye it? I was just going to sand it and paint it gunmetal...

NO! Dont sand it! you will ruin the grain look! Just get a really good vinyl cleaner (I use "aqua mate #91" from a local chemical distributor). Just spray it on, scrub it really well with a scrub brush, rinse REALLY well, let dry, then paint with a vinyl dye paint. It will turn on just great. Dont use regular paint, it wont stick. Good luck!
