First, Marv attempted to use the Rit color remover on his green magazine.
A breadpan is almost not enough water for one packet of the solution.
Despite my warnings, he heated a pyrex pan on a burner! He got away with it though.
One hour steeping in the solution lightened it a lot, but it's still quite green.
Two hours didn't really change much.
Marv wanted brown. Rit's browns tend to make sand PMAGs green...
#1 is 3 tablespoons of Chocolate Brown.
#2 is 3 tablespoons of Chocolate Brown, 1 teaspoon of Purple and 1/2 teaspoon of Aquamarine.
#3 is 3 tablespoons of Chocolate Brown, 1 teaspoon of Purple and 1 teaspoon of Aquamarine.
#4 is the #3 recipe applied to the magazine baseplate from the color removed magazine.
#5 is 3 tablespoons of Chocolate Brown, 1 teaspoon of Purple, 1 teaspoon of Aquamarine and 1/2 teaspoon of Emerald Green.
Marv says that formula #5 might be a bit closer of a match.

As formula #3 compares to the Damage Ind. SHTF Brown he's trying to match. |
