I picked up some Stainless 1911 magazines through some of the 4th. of July sales, and it looks crappy with a polished stainless magazine base plate peeking out of a blacked out CeraKoted And a blued / black anodized 1911s.

Will cold blue darken the stainless ? Aluma black ? Are there other treatments that will do what I am wanting to do ?

Aluma black will not work on s/steel.

How many base plates you looking to do. Have to look at my 1911 mags. If they're black,maybe a trade?
