Dyed a Couple of Guns for a Mate

[Guest]

Did these yesterday evening
 

The FNX will get a black slide, I think they turned out pretty good tbh

Nice, what dye are you using to get the olive?

 

I had a crack on a couple of bits over lockdown but they didnt turn out so well and i had to overspray them

good to know, although my parts ended up too dark so i doubt i'll be able to bring them back, but will bear in mind for future.

That green looks great! 

 

I think the FNX's magazine bases would look good in the green also.

You can run very hot water over them for a decent while, it can leech the dye out, just don’t warp anything lol

i did try that just to ensure i didnt end up with green fingers next game day so they're pretty well stuck as is.

 

ahh well, nothing major, worst case it's all bits i can replace.

They are a different, rubberised plastic so will end up being a different colour green

He sent me a dressed  up Pic

They look class 😎

[Guest]

He was happy, variability of TM polymers varies the resulting colour, but still pretty good

The MP7 😍😍

Cool! How do you apply it? I've only heard of people using spray paint so I'm not familiar with using dye.

I know it's an oldish thread, but that green FNX is lush

Turned out OK didn’t it. No idea who owns it now though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[MagpieTactical]

Now that you have acquired a TM HK45 what do you think of it?

 

How does it compare to the FNX45?

Sold it a long time ago, not a patch on the FNX.

still good, but not the latest technology

Thanks.
