Always wondered why they don't have it in silver or standard mag colors ...

Anyone ever play around with their "enhancers"?

I'm thinking gun metal with the pearlizer would look slick. The pearl lightens the finish, and would also tend to cover any defects, so less worries about having a super smooth base ...
