Okay, So I've spent the last couple of weeks working on the evil black AR's. A new barrel here, some new trigger sets there, and assembling stripped lowers over there, this one needs a flip up iron sight... What started out to be 3 quickly turned into 5... "Well, I already have these parts left over so I might as well buy this other part... "
Anyway... I'm nearing the end and getting some new mags for them seemed the right thing to do. I had 30 rounders but I only had one 20 rounder. I like the 20's better because they take up less space and are easier to bench shoot with (which it what I do the most of).
I bought 10 brand new aluminum mags with pretty green followers and they are of course... grey.
I want them to be BLACK like the rifles are. How, and what, can I use to coat my mags black? I don't know why they do not come black parkerized instead of grey anyway.
Some of my 30 rounders look like they were spray painted black... I don't want that. Any ideas on how to turn grey parkerized mags nice and black like the rifles in a coating that will wear well when being used?
Thanx
