I wanted a couple of mags to match the color of the black rifle. I scrubbed them inside and out in a solution of Simple Green. After drying I prepped them for paint by wiping down with denatured alcohol. I hung them and sprayed with a few coats of Rustoleum High Heat BBQ paint. After drying I installed new AR Stoner springs and swapped out the old black GI followers with Magpul followers in foliage.
I also wanted a couple of mags in dark gray. These got the same treatment, but I sprayed them with Rustolem Dark Gray Automotive Primer. It's a nice flat dark gray color. These also got new AR Stoner springs. I replaced the followers with new green GI followers.
I had some 20's that I wanted to refinish close to the light gray original color. I tried a lot of different gray spray paint but I was never happy with either the color or the sheen. So I ended up going with the Perma-Slik G. This is great heavy duty stuff though I feel the color is a little darker than the originals. it's supposed to replace the original slick anti-friction coating. These were prepped the same as the 30's, hung and sprayed with several costs of the Perma-Slik G. After drying I replaced the original springs with Wolff extra power 20 round springs. I replaced the followers with Brownell's black polymer 20 round followers.
