    i picked up an 80% from eplowers in pink for my wife. she doesn't like the color. it looks purple compared to the pink hogue grip. any suggestions on what to use to change the color to a different shade of pink? will duracote or cerecote work on the polymer? how about dye? what type/brand?

    It would say prime it then duracoat it.. always worked for me with Aluminum 80%. I am curious what do you think of the EP lower I have been looking at buying one but I heard they need some hand fitting / sand etc in the magwell and mag catch area.... you think its worth the cash? Thanks

    i got a blem for $35 and don't really see the blemish unless its a tiny mark under the trigger guard. so unless it breaks i'd say its worth it. i'm building a 22 for my wife.

    That looks a lot better for me. Same exact color will prolly look more of like toyish. That is more of like two toned in same color but different in shade...

    Got a ? for you... Did you encounter holes in the magwel or inside the trigger pocket on that? i might get the pink one too but there are reviews about the colored ones have these flaws...
    there is divit in magwell smaller than a a pin head. i haven/'t done the trigger pocket yet.

    it goes thru to the bolt release where it is smaller.
