Looks good.  I didn't think of that polymer as being sufficiently porous to accept dying.  Please share your experience with how long it lasts.

I would dye it again a lot more black and let it soak a lot longer. if you really want black.

I recently dyed a baby blue walther p22 with some rit dye.  i had to keep that thing in there for over 10 hours before the black began to set in.  How long did you dye yours for?

That looks really good.  I don’t mind the UG color but have to admit that there are many better colors for a gun.  Maybe CZ went with UG because it allows us to change to a color of our choice.

I let it sit for an hour in the black. I could do it again I suppose, but it is such a beating to put back together a detail stripped the gun I'm reluctant to do so.

I did some G10 grips. Liquid RIT did nothing, powdered RIT worked. Cleaned the gun after and used brake cleaner spray can, the color bled but the grips remained black. Handled it with sweaty hands once and palm blackened some. This past Saturday I shot it extensively in 80 degree weather, no black palms...it must have “set” or whatever but they are still black and seem to be stable.

The more you disassemble and reassemble the easier it gets the process will be locked in your brain.
