survivalshop Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Well I ordered & got these sand colored LR PMags & they might be OK in that white colored play sand , but I didn't expect them to be white , I could stand them & had to paint them with some camo paint I had . Much better , wish I had some FDE paint , but these will do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That is what I realized after buying one. I was told they make them so light so people can easily dye them. Next time I have something cerakoted I will have it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Wonder if you could dye them with RIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngrBob Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Brownells makes a paint called Alumahyde II in FDE that seems to work pretty well. The receivers in my 6.5 Creedmore build were raw and painted with the Alumahyde II. About $11 or $12 a can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I had a choice of the Tan I used or OD Green or Foliage green , I didn't want to wait for an order , I couldn't stand the white , the Tan isn't bad . Black from now on . Dye them , not sure the Thermal plastic will take a dye , someone else try , I'm happy with my tan ones now . I have a 20 & a 10 rounder , now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
