First Time Dying PMags

[USMCsilver]

Should have gone with a shade lighter color, but oh well. Might try my hand again, but for now, I'm probably done. It'll be interesting to see how they pair with the pistol.

Indeed. You passed the eye test.

I tried to dye some Troy Battlemags that were tan that I bought during panic. Had no guns to match so I figured I would give it a try. They turned out like real close to what yours look like. Ended up spray painting them pink to match daughter's gun.

Yea why wouldn't spray paint be a better substitute? Would seem to be less messy

Magpul is making "sand" color for dying. Saw it here first: http://gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/ritdye_Sand_Pmags/

I used "scarlet". I should have used "cherry red". Oh well. I don't think it's worth the money to try again. I may bleach them if they look like ass in the gun and redye. But we'll see...

Yours don't look bad. I was going for pink and ended up way too dark. To answer other question....The dye is a more permanent solution. Spray paint chips/wears off.

This supposedly gets "into" the material, where spraypaint wears. I guess I coulda rattle-canned it, but this appealed to me more as it was a total project gun.

Do a endurance trial test for us on a mag and give us a review please

Damnit. It's bugging me now. May try bleach and that lighter color.

Seems to have slightly deepened a tad bit more.

There is a reason the military doesn't issue Pmags


Fucking red? Really?

That's cause the military issues the cheapest shit that comes from the lowest bidder

From my understanding, Magpul is expanding due to a USMC contract.

Yup. Red. It's different. Never onwned something totally impractical. Figured I'd just go all out. Space guns always looked interesting to me.

I like it. Not necessarily the color, per se, but a fellow sufferer of tinkeritis that has the balls to experiment. It's got my wheels turning. USMC, did it seem like the mag material soaked up the dye,as in when the liquid hit it it spread out, or do you think you could put straight lines/ designs in it?

Some hot chick on Youtube was using rubber bands to do some stuff.

I had the water in an 8x8 Pyrex on the stove. Near boiling. Took about 5 mins per magazine. I used a whole bottle of dye. (Learning curve about the heat.)

I'm gonna heat some bleach water in a pot and let 'em soak.
