Well, I decided the HK P30L V3 I bought recently wasn't working for me so I used it as part of a trade.
Let me add here, I like the P30, just not the version I bought. The the left side slide stop lever is just too long on the version I had for the style grip I like to use use and I ride that lever.
As part of the trade, I picked up a new CZ75 SP-01 . Nice pistol and I already like the CZ75 (I have a 75B I'm quite fond of).
yqtszhj turned me on to some nice grips awhile back and I wanted to get a set for the SP-01. Looking on Amazon, most of the grips were about $56; some came with fancy screws, some without. They also had a set that came with screws and "O" rings for $39.99, but these grips were in pink and black with screws that have a multiple hue finish. I admit, these were not my first choice, but I love a deal and, after some thought, placed an order for them.

My plan was to either just live with them as they came or try some RIT dye on them (paint would be the fall back option).The same with the grips screws, live with them or plate them with black nickel (if stainless, otherwise parkerize).
Here they are:
I'm going to dye them, but I'm undecided about the screws. Here are the dyes I have on hand:
I want to go with the brown, but find it's only half of a packet. Still, I decide to go with it:
Well, I made two mistakes here. One going with just a half packet of dye and not bead blasting the grips. The dye is not so bad, though the coverage didn't look that good at first:
Cleanup with a toothbrush had that looking better:
to be continued....
