Ok I have a question and this might seem stupid, but I got an Emag with a frame that is Pewter and a verticle ULE body that is supposed to be Pewter too I guess. The only thing is that the color is not the same. The Frame is like a metallic black, which is what I consider Pewter. The body is like the same but sort of bluish not blue but has a difference which is noticable. My question is that if I am right or if I am looking at a totally different barrel color that is not pewter. I was thinking getting a warp body, but I don't want the mismatch that I see right not with this verticle body.

Thanks guys,
Edward

this color match problem comes from the ULE bodies and X-valve being made from 7000 series aluminum. Its a higher grade than most other aluminum parts are made of, this makes it accept dye during annodizing slighly differently than the other pieces.
