so I wasn't a big fan of the urban grey color, but I found a deal on a p07 suppressor host I couldn't pass up, even if it was grey. So I thought I would try dying it black. I stripped the frame, boiled some water and tossed in about 1/3 a bottle of black RIT dye into 2/3 gallon water. let it sit for 40 minutes and rinsed. Frame turned a super dary navy or midnight blue. Not the black I was hoping for, but I kind of dig it. Certainly shows less dirt and fingerprints than that pale grayish color. Suppressors are messy. Who's stupid idea was it to make a nearly white gun?!?

this is the most natural lighting picture and is the best representation of the color. It's hard to tell it's blue, but the color is different than the black magazine

it doesn't really look this blue in real life. The flash brought out the blue

so, for me, and improvement, but I would still have preferred black. I don't know what black dye gave me blue, but whatever.
