Yes!! I am all over this. The only way to shoot my Scar 17S, .300 blackout and .338 Lapua Mag affordably, is to reload my own, so I’ve carefully studied a LOT of ammo. I collect WW2 German boxes and surplus and I worry about them Getting their steel tone right. It isn’t as green as Bulgarian or Romanian but it does have a slight green hue to it. The point is, this is awesome and I no longer have mix my own brass and steel colors! Thanks!.

These look good in theory, but I have yet to see metallic colors that truly "work" over styrene. I'm happy to be proved wrong, as even Alclad isn't buffed-looking enough for my tastes.

While this seems a great solution to the long-standing problem I have to say that I have never seen any cases that were nearly as surface-damaged as those pictured on the box cover; dirty: yes, gunpowder residue: no, corrosion: only if it was dug-up from a field somewhere. Most of the stuff I came into contact with was, at worst, dirty and perhaps with a dent or two from being chucked out onto the ground or banged against a case port buffer as on the 20mm rounds. As with other aspects of the hobby I'd take it easy on over-weathering and also the other extreme.
