Sorry John, I've never tried bending a DHBP to fit a curved stock. It's not unusual for the old DHBP's or grip caps to turn brown. Black liquid shoe polish should fix that.
FWIW, I did fit a Kickeez pad to a curved butt. I used Acraglas dyed black to fill in the widow's peak and added a screw to the middle of the recoil pad to draw it tight and put the rubber plug back in the hole to cover the screw head. Real comfortable to shoot and in 5 minutes, I can put the original DHBP back on.
