Just wanted to share a pic of the color comparison to magpul fde.

Painted my pmags and gi mag with this can from home depot, a bit shiny but I think I prefer it to the black

Looks good. I did the same thing with some Rustoleum sand on some old G.I. mags. They also had some shine so I gave them two coats of  clear flat paint. It took care of the shine.

Alumahyde II from Brownell's works much better(let it cure for a week).  It is $10 a can but holds up.

Why did you only paint half of the mag?

The top half is stuck in the rifle sight unseen and adding paint sometimes can be just enough in some lowers to be readily not drop free.

I used alumahyde the first time last month, liked it so much I ordered another can.  It does need a week to fully cure though, and be sure to prep the surface properly.
