Do It Yourself: Different color PMAGs and other polymer/plastic items

that was weird. Time traveling posts!

It's the John Locke picture under his name.


On topic, on my monitor here at work, I like that far left brick-red pmag. It looks similar to one of the rubber red-guns.

Has anyone tried doing this on a stock or rail covers? Im new to this RIT stuff so I don't know how versatile it is. I also assume trying to match furniture thats made from different materials using dye may not be easy???

That's interesting, thanks for the info.

The yellow pmag in the middle reminds me of the SCAR yellow/gold.

Shoe dye.......... it's not just for bride's maids and proms anymore.


Looks really good.

That's awesome interested to see how it holds up to some scratches and such.

Thanks for the cool, very unique how to.

Any way of knowing if it's actually dying the material or just sticking to it like paint?

I might give that a try, think I still have some tan Pmags around here.

Ok, got some pics.

It is just penetrating into the material. Just to clarify some heat is needed to help penetration.

excellent photos!

and it looks as it penetrates pretty good too!

I am going to dye some FDE mags Brown.

I agree. That looks like it would hold up better than paint. Good penetration

add dye until your solution is the same color you want.

it should end up being a little lighter than you're after.

this way you're leaving yourself the option of going darker.
