That turned out really well. What color rit did you use? Any special techniques?
|
|
I dyed some grey the other day. I really like that color and have considered doing the same as you.
Looks good. |
|
Oh my
Well done Op, folks don't typically succeed at DIY stuff like that and it makes for funny stuff but you did great.
|
|
|
I'll pay you decent money to do my set, IM me if you are interested.

Looks good. How close is it to foliage green? It's hard to tell from a pic but it looks really close to foliage green to me.

|
Looks great. I've got a whole set of FDE I've been meaning to do. Post your recipe and technique?
|
|
Attaboy!!!! I wish my shop tables were that clean after "someone" uses them!

I did a few of my FDE Pmags in the RIT pearl grey. They didn't come out quite as dark as yours. But pretty close.
I got the water/dye to almost boiling and dipped, brought it out of the dye and dipped again every 4 or 5 seconds till I got close. Then dipped one last time. Been thinking of getting a FDE set of furniture for my midlength rifle and doing it. My midlength wears black furniture now. An A2 would look kick ass. |

I admit. I was not expecting much win from this thread.
Impressive. |
|
Thank you everyone!
I'll do a small write up right now. but it was pretty easy it only took about 40 min total. I think the UDE will take a color better since it is slightly lighter than FDE, but i didnt want to spend the time waiting to get a set of UDE. |
|
Any idea of the durability of it? Does it come off on your hands?
|
|
Quoted: I like it as well. Something we can all agree on so far. Well now I hate it. |
|
What's the purpose of having grey colored gear??? Can you take some various pictures of the mags in various locations & light to show the advantages of why you'd choose grey over other colors??
It looks nice. I'm just curious as to if it's advantageous. -SleeperShooter |

That is neat.
You could cerakote the metal parts too to make it more unique. |
