Has anyone heard of color dying magazines?

I'll be attempting a fakelite and a plum mag die from sand mags when I get my Saiga back.

I'll post my efforts and results.

Here's some info of a guy doing a "fakelite" Rit Dye:

I love my Lancers but I still want one of those clear PMAG's.

LOL - who doesn't?

Been waiting for sand furniture so my cousin can work some magic with them. These are all done with stencils from a cheap plotter and dipped into individual dyes. He is pretty much setting the standard for custom dyed lacrosse heads and has been consulting for RIT to develope a line of dyes specifically for plastics.

What's wrong with the spray paint? Don't tell my rifles that

I wouldn't use the word "wrong "...

Yeah some of you might yell 'safe queen' ... but I like my rifles how they are. I spent a lot of money getting them looking and working nice.

I would equate it to when you talk UWone into spray painting his BMW I might spray paint my guns :)

I don't baby them but I take care of them.

On a different kind of build I wouldn't mind it a bit. It doesn't speak to "quality ". But if I built a truck gun I would be on it.

My AR experience started out sort of on the top shelf so the thought of spray paint on my guns as they are now...Umm no. :)

But if it's stoopid, but it works - is it really stoopid?

All colors except for black.

Magpul came out with an article ... circa 2 years (?) ago. Said they aren't producing anymore colored mags. So what you see now, is whatever is left from distributors/dealers.

Unless they said they were restarting the colored line; but that would be news to me then.


Dude ...

they make muddy girl wraps for that purpose

LMAO!!!

Im pretty happy with how the yellow RIT dye and the 40rd sand mag came out. Add a banana sticker and you are good to go.

I tried to dye the baseplate a brown but it came out more like baby poop green. Some RIT dye colors don't play nice with the sand colored polymer. GunMag's test shows a few of these as well.

That would be meconium. Probably not a bad cerakote color for a carbine...
