just curious, how does the dye hold up?

[V6outdoors]

@JBL1TZ its been a few months now since doing this and there has been no fading or anything, they still look great.

Do you think g10 that is already black could be died another color, or would it just turn out extremely dark?

[V6outdoors]

@IEatGuns i dont think it would do much if anything to black.

Voodoo, do you own any firearms? If so, you should showcase them here.

@Bmanstudios101 i dont own any atm. had plenty but i just didnt use them much so they were sold.

you should have used dark green for the ladybug for a light green color

tried bleaching scales first before a dye job?

Awesome job! About a year ago I contemplated dyeing my G-10 Dragonfly, but just never worked up the courage to. Your results are spectacular!

Wow, it never occurred to me that FRN would take a dye job so well.

It's so "plasticy" (not in a bad way - I think it's a perfectly fine handle material) that I lost sight of the fact that it actually has some porousness not *too* unlike G-10.
