What happens when they get wet?
What happens when they come in contact with solvent?

Good job, sarduy...I too think all Glocks should die [ducks and runs].
The mags were rinsed for a long time in water after dying until the water ran clear and they passed the sweaty hand test with flying colors. I also gave them a good rubdown which helps remove the extra dye left behind after rinsing.
The dye seeps into the plastic, but there's a certain amount that stays on the surface that must be removed. I just drilled a drainhole in one of them and the color goes a mm or 2 into the plastic.
As for the solvent, I just took a patch and rubbed one briskly. I got a small amount of black on the patch. I'm thinking that's some of the leftover dye on the surface; no matter how much I sat and rubbed in one spot, the color did NOT go back to green.
I don't use solvents on my mags very often anyway, so not much of a big deal for me.
If anyone has any "color fastness" tests they'd like me to try out, I'm all ears!
Update: I continued the solvent test by soaking a patch in Hoppes and continuing to rub the same spot as earlier until I got no more color on the patch. The mag is still as dark as ever and now I can pretty safely say the color is PERMANENT.
