In case anyone wants to know how to paint their Kydex gear. Better to go direct instead of weeding thru the interweb advice.

Ask me about my 50 caliber Fully Semi-Automatic 30-Mag clip death gun that's as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving.

What's the readers digest version? Never wanted to. But curious.

Its two pages. Sort of is already  :smiley_shrug:

They recommend two types of paint specifically with weblinks and prep by wiping with alcohol or sanding.

So it's just a different paint basically. Cool. Any word on how well it wears? Seems like a holster would be hard to hold paint. Considering the wear your likely to get.

But I could see saving a ton on ugly colors and just painting it.

They tested many paints and the two they recommended worked best.

I'm thinking of accenting some black holsters and sheaths.

The undercolor is black so i could overlay a net pattern in grey or dark grey. And mask areas to remain 100% black.

I like the color scheme of multicam black, kryptec typhon, or kryptec raid and have stuff in that. Kydex and Nylon.
