How to blacken an A2 stock

[DANNY-L]

Been searching with no luck,can someone tell me how to get the stock back to it's original black color. I was thinking just oil but not sure.Thanks

Fusion Spray paint would be a longer lasting solution.

Try turtle way. It works on ABS plastic trim and bumpers on cars.

paint was a thought but wouldn't it peel?

I hate the A2 stock. They get so funky looking so quickly. I have thought about paint also. I suppose, if you prepare the surface well enough, it will hold up pretty good. Think il invent an A2 stock that keeps it's look and make some money, LOL.

RIT Black die should do the trick.

I thought that too. But what about a sweaty face on a hot day? That's my concern.

I don't think anything but time would get rit off your skin. Maybe it would dry on the surface like it does on clothes.

Sharpie and a whole lot of time?

I'd think the Krylon Fusion would be the best bet. It's made to bond to plastic, so I think chipping wouldn't be too bad.

Try Turtlewax ICE. We recommend it for maintaining DuraCoat. Also, try some Armorall. It can be re-colored with DuraCoat using HK Black for a semi gloss finish or tactical black for a flat matte finish. Proper prep will give permanent results.

I dyed some OD green magpul furniture black with RIT dye. Works like a champ. Doesn't rub off.
