Any advice on turning faded pmags back to black?

[Mdunntn]

Just got these in a trade and wanting to get them not looking so rough. Would the automotive back to black stuff work?

Krylon plastic paint

WD 40 is what we used on plastic car trim when I worked at a car dealer.  just spray and wipe with a rag.  This may or may not work.  It does fade again over time but its cheap

I saw someone use clothes dye to color plastics.

[crashgordan]

These things actually accept dye pretty well...
The stuff you dye clothes with you get at any grocery or Walmart
Need your mix very hot and leave it in there a while
The dye will actually enter the plastic.

Krylon spray paint for plastics looks great and is fairly durable

Hadn't ever tried the back to black, but its a good idea.

Let us know how it works out

Wd40 worked awesome thanks guys

I use this on my bike... http://www.amazon.com/Pig-Spit-PSO-Black-Original/dp/B000VJR3GO

 

Works great and readily available at a HD shop near you.

Its amazing how it works like that, but glad it did.  Let us know how long it stays good and black

Glad it worked. I used some Back to Black for automotive trim on a Ruger synthetic stock and it helped it a bunch.

Try this stuff (....303 aerospace protectant....).  Ya can find it in several places.  Read about (...and order, if ya like...) from here:  http://www.autogeek.net/303aerprot.html .

It cleaned up some pretty faded stuff on my jeep doors.

 

Hope this helps.

My Pmags look like they'd been dragged by a jeep through a rocky desert.... I call those "character" marks.

Come on, really? There's only one real solution...

Havnt tried a magazine but:

 

Old plastics on motorcycles that have oxidized, ive used a heat gun to melt them back to color with great results. Dont get crazy with the heat.

Rit dye works wonders on Magpul stuff too.

Rit dye works wonders on Magpul stuff too.

I will verify this also,worked like a charm on a set of the sand colored MBUS.Came out black as could get with the Rit liquid black dye.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

As long as they work, I don't care what they look like.

 

I sure as Hell had no idea Rit Dye would work on plastic.

Now that's cool.
