Are we going to see a corresponding jump in spray paint sales?

Hmm... I wonder what the real reason is? Are the colored mags slightly weaker or something due to the dyes in the polymer? The article says something about them wanting to maintain consistency. I think it's a bad move, I like my colored pmags.

Maybe they just don't want to have to run so many different lines. When they were really hard to find I read that they were only running black to help speed up the process. They might have found it was more efficient but who knows.
