Dye MXR

[FullContactUSA]

New dye marker (MXR) I haven't seen much fan fare about it but apparently tomorrow is the launch day?

Tomorrow? But today is the 9th, that says the 12th.

So is 9/12 a significant date for Dye? When they released the dm4?

[Painthappy]

I mean, I'm curious. I've loved the dye stuff from day one and been a big fan. Yet, I've never... ever.. Owned a dye gun. Not sure why, just never have. I'm quite curious as to what this is. Maybe I'll change my mind and pick something up. Who knows?

I bet it still uses the eye pipe

But a “new and improved” version that is not compatible with older versions.

I also find the name funny, almost like a play on a blender… it doesn’t blend paint, just mixes it.

-Well, to be fair, we're kind of running out of three-letter acronyms.

Considering all the three-letter names of cars (BMW, CRX, GTO, LTD, GTX, WRX) trucks (TRD) motorcycles (CBR, GSX, KRX) businesses (IBM, KFC, AMD) and pretty much everything else (SAT, RFK, USB, GOP, FBI, ATM, MLB, NFL, DUI, BBC, CPU, CEO, ad nauseum) there's not many 'cool' ones left.

MXR is already the name of an electric guitar effects pedal, and I'd wager if you looked around, you'd probably also find it on things like snowboards, video cards and probably a line of AXE body sprays that smell like 2-stroke exhaust or something.

(I know nothing about the gun. Just bein' a wiseass. )

Doc.

After the debacle(s) with their Paragon engine marker, Dye needs to make something truly neat & reliable to have even a chance at getting my attention. I simply don’t think Dye is relevant in the paintgun space outside of the DSR. There are reasons people like the DSR, and I don’t think Dye has done it made a paintgun that comes close to that since.

So I’ll just wait for pictures & grab some popcorn while I continue to shoot my PEs & Tippmanns.
