New Vosteed Day

The Munch Munch Raccoon TiSlim has arrived

Hello.

Here is my process to make two grip colors and the slide for a P365 into the Vosteed knife color schemes that I think are just amazing. In the end, best looking colored sig grip in my opinion. Pictured is the green micarta Vosteed porcupine, raccoon 2.0, and tislim bronze sv90 porcupine. Overall, the raccoon has the best action, the ti is second, but I carry the thumb hole porcupine the most because the thumb hole is nice.

First try, I took a grey sig p365 module and tried dying with Rite Dymore peacock green. That made a purple. What in the heck? Turns out Sig grey is heavy blue. So adding green to blue made purple. Very much like the “red purple” of the Raccoon tislim. Very rich purple brown. Very luxury look.

However, I was trying to make the green. So to turn blue tinting to green I tried only daffodil yellow. This new ordered grey grip turned out nearly exactly the micarta green of the Vosteed.

Sent the slide to Maple Leaf for a bronze pvd. Missed the batch going out, so it took a while to get back. Beautiful appearance. Good job on their sourced chemical group.

Bought an NDZ copper retaining pin only for accent and intentional. Didn’t want copper bronze taking over on the controls or trigger.

All in, very happy with the rich look of both grips and slide. My light is bad and caring to fix it attitude is worse. But the green match in person is 95% to the green micarta.

The tislim porcupine is bronze titanium. I am waiting on the Raccoon purple copper dune to deliver, but wanted to post with what I have.
