I don't see any reason to reinvent the wheel. Of course it is always good to have a alternative if needed.The Dykem layout dye that I got 1 month ago is transparent and looks the same as always. Besides being the product that AMK used and most likely still uses I am not for sure if the ink would hold up as good as the layout dye. Maybe it does but no good reason for me to change IMO. Plus it is easily accessible if I run out from Amazon or my local welding supply.
Per Bossbill?s suggestion, I tried some Pinata Sante Fe red ink. Here?s a photo of how it compares in color to red nut from an NOS strut kit. Appears pretty close. The nut on the right is an original that was bead blasted then colored with the Pinata ink. Nuts on the left are from the strut kit. FwiwI don't see any reason to reinvent the wheel.
