Reflex color change cost?

Recommended Posts

The pop top cover isnt a big deal at all. Call Bomber Manufacturing. You dont need to open your reserve so no repack required for this one
The main flap, you need to ask your rigger if he can do it (dont know what level your rigger is so he might not be qualified, or even if he is, willing to do do). As a backup, call Bomber. No doubt this change would require a reserve repack as the main top flap goes all the way under the pop top.

Yes, Remi and Karen,
You have to unpack a Reflex reserve to replace the mid flap. Like a Vector or Talon, the mid flap on a Reflex is sewn to the mid wall and reserve side flaps. An easy job if you know what you are doing, but best left to a Master Rigger.
Since changing the colour of the mid flap requires re-binding it and binding a thick flap requires a sewing machine carefully tuned for that sort of work, it is easier to buy a new mid flap from Bomber Manufacturing.

Commercial dye's for Nylon, are in fact, acid dye's.
I have an assortment of acid dye's/colors from Mobay Chemical Co.
The ideal 'mix PH' is 5--I use common distilled water, with a hard boil on my kit stove, followed by a good hot water rinse. Dying non-dyed or non-heat shrunk/stabilized Nylon will increase the elongation, and increase the tensile strength.
I have dyed many different types of webbing and tapes over the last 15 years. i.e., Ty-17 for risers, Ty-IV square weave for bridles, Ty-III binding tape, and many other Mil spec/non Mil spec Nylon goods.
Example--5/8" Ty-IV square weave is only available in black or white-unless by special order from Bally, with a ridiculous minimum yardage amount. Yes, the bridle on my rig is 5/8" Ty-IV--yellow.
