I didn’t like the color of my Bugout so I decided to change it. Read about how a few people did this and saw that one guy just added a little water to black Rit Dye to get a darkish blue. I’ve never taken it apart and I was kind of worried about the springs so I just did one side at a time and hoped they would match. I figured if they didn’t I would just dye them black. They turned out pretty nice, a little darker than I wanted just like I’ve heard others say.
After it started to simmer I put one in and immediately it started getting dark but had a hard time getting it out with the coat hanger I was using. The other one matched pretty good. I’ll post pics if I can figure it out.
Btw, I dropped it on asphalt 30 mins after and barely could see the slightest nick in the corner. Wouldn’t notice if I didn’t know.
Ok call me a moron I’m not seeing how to add pics.

That's a great color. Well done.

I don't mind the blue so I leave it like it is. I like your color better though.
 
Yeah man! That looks great! I didn’t mind the stock blue but that is really pretty.
 
The smurf blue on the bugout really doesn't bother me. I will admit that you upgrade looks much better nice job.
