Ship me your gear and I’ll hand-dye it, then send it back. Built for nylon slings and polymer AR parts / accessories that are not black.

Service Rules

  • Nylon (slings) and polymer AR parts / accessories only
  • No black polymer — dye won’t take the way you want
  • No metal parts
  • No Kydex — it’s a thermoplastic that won’t take the dye and can be damaged by the process
  • Transparent mags can only be dyed by specific colors and blends, send custom request
  • What you send is what you get back — don’t send broken mags or damaged parts
  • $45 minimum order on send-in dye jobs
  • Magazine capacity / accessory restrictions: send-in mags must comply with your local laws. Restricted jurisdictions currently include: loading…. See Compliance Notices.
  • California: CA residents sending magazines must be 21+, verify ID by follow-up email, and use a shipping address that matches their ID.

Behind The Build
How It’s Made

This isn’t sprayed paint or a wrap. Watch the hot-glue masking and dye process on a real PMAG — the same handcrafted method used on every order.

  • Mask: Hand-applied hot glue creates the pattern barriers.
  • Dye: Hot dye pushes pigment into the polymer surface.
  • Reveal: Glue comes off, leaving a permanent camo finish with zero added thickness.

No two pieces come out identical — that’s the point.

Why It Hits Harder
Built Into The Material

Upgrade your kit with custom-dyed PMAGs, polymer components, and nylon gear built to take abuse. Unlike paints, wraps, or surface coatings that crack, chip, and peel under hard use, the hot-dye process forces pigment directly into the outer surface matrix so the finish stays clean through match work, range days, reload drills, and regular maintenance.

Custom Polymer Dye

PMAGs & Polymer Components

Every polymer piece is hand-masked and dyed for a permanent pattern with no added bulk, no slick topcoat, and no fake “painted-on” look. The texture stays factory, the fit stays OEM, and each part comes out with small hand-applied variation so no two pieces are identical.

  • Zero flaking or chipping: pigment is soaked into the material itself, not layered on top.
  • Zero added thickness: tight magwells, pouches, and receivers still fit the way they should.
  • Matte finish: preserves the original low-sheen tactical look and textured grip.
  • Handcrafted patterns: glue masks, stencil work, and batch variation keep every piece one-of-one.
Custom Nylon Dye

Slings, Pouches & Soft Goods

For nylon gear, the dye process is designed to shift color deep into Cordura, webbing, and heavy-duty synthetics without wrecking the structure of the item. It works especially well when you want to darken lighter gear or make mismatched kit run together as one pattern family.

  • Preserves function: hook-and-loop still works, webbing stays flexible, and stitch integrity is maintained.
  • Best for lighter bases: ideal for shifting Tan 499, Coyote, and similar tones toward darker greens, browns, and woodland-style schemes.
  • Natural tonal depth: different deniers and webbing sections absorb differently, which creates a more organic result than sprayed-on color.
Why Dye Over Paint

Quick Feature Comparison

Durability

  • Custom Polymer Dye Permanent color soaked into polymer.
  • Cerakote / Spray Paint Can chip and wear off under friction.
  • Vinyl Wraps Peels, tears, and lifts at edges.

Magwell Fit

  • Custom Polymer Dye Exact OEM specs with zero added bulk.
  • Cerakote / Spray Paint Adds micro-thickness.
  • Vinyl Wraps Adds thickness and can bind.

Texture

  • Custom Polymer Dye Original factory grip and finish.
  • Cerakote / Spray Paint Surface feel can change.
  • Vinyl Wraps Slick, plasticky feel.

Maintenance

  • Custom Polymer Dye Wipe and go.
  • Cerakote / Spray Paint High-impact chips need watching.
  • Vinyl Wraps Scuff-sensitive and edge-prone.
Care & Maintenance

Keep It Running

  • Polymer care: clean with standard CLP, warm soapy water, or mild degreasers.
  • Avoid harsh soak cycles: don’t leave polymer submerged in acetone, brake cleaner, or other industrial solvents for extended periods.
  • Nylon care: hand wash cold or run a gentle cycle with standard detergent, then air dry away from direct high heat.
Customer Expectations

What To Know Up Front

  • Dye is additive: lighter base colors can be pushed darker, but black polymer cannot be dyed lighter.
  • Pattern variation is normal: each run is hand-masked, so exact line placement and tonal breakup will vary.
  • Nylon absorbs differently by section: 500D, 1000D, and heavy webbing take dye at different rates, creating natural multi-tone shifts across the same item.
