    So why not add an option on the dye screen to select the type of finish you wish to give to gear after it's dyed like matte, metallic, etc.? More options are always great, or if you want to go with the overcomplicated and more work/timesink involved route add recipes to craft metallic dyes and what not.

    Seconded, this would be an amazing idea! I find the current "enamel" coating to look pretty shoddy on pretty much all equipment, but other people might feel different. I would prefer the first idea personally, but having another style of dyes that are slightly more complex to make while adding a shiny look would also do the justice of granting crafters a bit more relevance! LvL 50 metallic-dye recipes... I think it's well worth bringing this to the devs.

    This, plus its perfectly possible in the real world to stain materials with dye rather than paint them. I dont quite get where the graphics team were going with cloth dyes being different to just cloth... i dont see any differences when i walk into a shop O.o
