I would go with black. How do you think flat black would look rather than gloss? Grey might look good but I'm having trouble visualizing it in the pic.
Maltby DBM - Matrix 94 build

Although I really like the clean look you've achieved, I vote for the black so that it matches the stampings
in the cavity. Really sharp looking irons.....I had a set of the original M-05's several years ago, and always
ask myself why I ever got rid of 'em! Which ever way you choose to go, I hope you'll post pix when you're
all done! BTW, I just posted a link to Maltby's latest iron for 2018 in the "Equipment" folder.....
JMHO, but I would match the black gloss with the original paint fill in the cavity.
Thanks guys. Yeah, I just thought that the white number fill was way too stark for me. I need
a cooler, stealth look. I tend to keep my irons very clean, so the gloss black like the cavity may
work best. I may try a med/dark gray to test as it it easy enough to remove. I will post pics to update.
By the way, that 7i head has been hit by about 50 balls - really holding up well !!
I concur with yuse guys, match the stampings in the cavity....grrrrr8 looking set....pics are a must after the build!
I like white..........too late, eh?
Eguller Never too late as I can always change back...but no. To me the white makes the iron head
with this dark finish look cheapish and with too much contrast. I'll post a few different colors
to test the waters soon. Bored, sick, Winter and need a golf fix - sooooo.
Nice thing about paintfill - you can do it and un-do it cheap and easy until you find what you like. Yellow? Gay-azz blue?
Do these have the mini-grooves? I tried them awhile back, and didn't like the results very much. Probably couldn't hit them hard enough or something.
Classic forged players cb configuration. I like the factory paint . Love absence of badges, but then I prefer vanilla ice cream.
Hoping and I'd bet that they'll play as good for you as they look. LB's Matrix iron build was Very nice looking too. Steve's been a little stingy with pictures of his Eye2s??? Unless I missed them.
I'm happy with my 84s too, for now.
Provisional
This won't be my first rodeo....I've had at least 4 sets of different iterations of this iron design.
I just thought I'd try the MBD as I liked the durability and look. In fact, if anyone wants a set of
MO5 or TE's let me know - in the stash somewhere. I do like the easy, higher trajectory these offer
due to their low center of gravity. If you are a high ball hitter, you may want to look at the MMB.
New colors soon....
Being sick almost always slows me down, but I finally did some of the paint fill to test out
the color match. The gray was too light and was abandoned early - a darker gray might have
been nice. I think the gloss black will win out. This will look good with a solid black ferrule.
Stealth DBMs...
Oh...the head weights were very close to spec. Maltby quality.
Black shafts and grips will finish the Darth Fader look!

I'll check my uummmm inventory after dinner and see what I have and get back to you.
As far as the shafts, well, they are the Matrix Studio 94s discussed earlier
for better or worse. They initially seem very good.
