stainless optilock base

[stirfry1]

Just wondering if anyone has coated or painted stainless bases black.

More cosmetic than anything, just too cheap to buy other bases.

Thanks for the input

I have seen chemical treatments that will blacken stainless steel. No experience with them tho.

I used a black indelible marker on a set of Leupold rings. Easy to do, held up fine and just touched them up every couple of years.

Trade for a set of Black rings in the buy and sell forum..just cost you postage.

Kind of funny doesn't matter if I wear 2 different colored socks, but the rifle

Can’t blame ya there,birds and animals won’t see your socks shining at the worst possible moment when the sun comes out from behind that cloud,I hate any kind of high gloss on my guns,be it stainless or bluing or high gloss scopes wutever.
Doesn’t need to be camo but matte black parts and dull finish stocks minimum for me.....gloss and shine is for safe queens.
