What paint / dye for Magpul furniture?

Grip, handguard, stock.

Any particular paint or treatment? Clean with alcohol N' spray it?

Going with......brown....don't copy me, it was MY idea! 🤡

RIT Dye does work. You can mix the powder/liquids a bit if you are looking for something in particular.
Not sure I could do it a second time, but I did super-close imitation of Magpul OD Green with some sand PMAGS.

My furniture is magpul OD green, going for brown.

Maybe paint or spray paint would the way to go?

Would brush-on paint be better/last longer?

I guess that Rit dye in Camel or Cocoa would work, the latter being darker. It should combine with the base OD to be less red/orange and darker than when applied to Sand.

Rit dye holds up better to abrasion than paint. I don't know how UV stable it is.

Krylon or Rustoleum. I don't get too carried away with prep, just wipe it down good. Alcohol shower is a nice way to de-grease. I used to do that, not any more.

Here's a rifle I did in brown base color a while back, it's one of my 308s.
