    Two treatments of citristrip and it was still a mottled brown black. Went to several different places to get dye today and all I could find was oil based which I didn't want to use so I just decided to try treating it with leather conditioner and it turned it black anyway so good thing I didn't find dye. I'll put a few coats on it and try to get a little shine but I like it a lot better than the high gloss paint. I wish it were brown but you can't always get what you want. It at least looks very consistent with my other WWI holsters.

    Figured it would turn the light parts darker, but certainly more uniform. Much better than that shiny black paint.
