How do I die a 100% polyester tie from pink to black?

I it is a skinny pink tie and i love the tie but not the color it was a gift for my birthday from one of my friends. I have used 3 packs of rite die on the tie and it has only dulled the bright pink color and changed it to a light purple color. Any help, tips, or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

You need disperse dyes.





Disperse dyes were originally developed for the dyeing of cellulose acetate, and are substantially water insoluble. The dyes are finely ground in the presence of a dispersing agent and then sold as a paste, or spray-dried and sold as a powder. They can also be used to dye nylon, triacetate, polyester and acrylic fibres. In some cases, a dyeing temperature of 130 °C is required, and a pressurised dyebath is used. The very fine particle size gives a large surface area that aids dissolution to allow uptake by the fibre. The dyeing rate can be significantly influenced by the choice of dispersing agent used during the grinding.
