Anyone else rcv'd a 'white' colored Magpul P-Mag ?

Magpul FDE using RIT dyes on a sand mag or other part:

Recipe using RIT dye:
6 tsp tan
1 tsp pearl grey
1 tsp dark brown
1 quart water

Heat to 175 degrees and dye for 2 minutes

I think they solved a problem I didn't have, a need for a stronger mag. If I was into coloring them then the sand mags are great, I'm just fine with black so far. But I do like that they evolve and put out new stuff, hoping the next widget is something I need/want!

THANKS Guys, For all the replies & dye tips. It's not like I won't use them, it's just I was surprised by the bright color of them. And no, I didn't see the color on Brownell's when ordered, I just grabbed a few to make some of my AR's a bit shorter in the safe. Oh well, at least there still useable P-Mags.

Best, dpast32

I bought a handful for my 300 Blackout as an easy way to differentiate mags.

I think this was the whole reason they used that color. So the user could make them anything they wanted.

Winner winner chicken dinner! I heard the same when they first came out.

This same guy unfortunately came back and posted a second video saying that he couldn't replicate the color on his next attempt with that formula:

He added Cocoa Brown (which I had to order off Amazon - no local stores carried it), and I still couldn't get a good FDE color with either recipe.

I've been having a great time dying Sand PMAGs but haven't been able to match any Magpul colors yet. I can pretty close to OD green by dying some Foliage and FDE parts, but not much luck starting with Sand. I'm going to pick up a few more Sand mags just for fun before they're all sold out.
