I don't have a strong opinion for or against the effect, it just needs to be uniform across all the pieces of the set!
At present, the legs/mask/chest/arms/bracers have a super shiny silver-ish sheen over them that hides the dye almost totally, but the boots/gloves/couple other pieces don't. Makes it hard to get a good and cohesive dyed look going on with the effect being mismatched on pieces of the same armor sets.
