Oil will make it appear darker, but the best way is to add some black to whatever color you're spraying before you apply it.

You can soak it in oil but I found the best results came from just rubbing it on the lower and let it “soak” in so to speak, I’ve got damn near perfect results doing this

Quote HistoryQuoted: What oil are you using I’ve used, gun lube oil, WD40, and Motor Oil all of which work ETA: Fresh out of the oven super light grey  After coating with oil   As you can see it darkened up quite nice to the point where it’s almost a perfect match to my mid 60’s upper which still has the original anodizing |

You don't need to heat the lower up at all before you apply the oil do you? Sorry I was just curious if it had to be hot for the oil to take
