Best way to color fill gun markings??

haha, just kidding I wouldn't do that. I'm not homosexual.

Use a heat gun to warn the item ,rub a Crayola caryon color of your choose over the markings ,allow to cool and wipe off --remove by heating up and wiping off

I've done it on a number of my guns. I like the contrast it provides. Color-filled the rollmarks and lettering on a bunch of my ARs, I used simple model paint. It was actually a fun project for me, learning how to color different parts in different colors without the colors running together, how to get them to be brighter (paint with white first, then your red or green or blue on top of it), using turpentine to clean up excess, etc. It's actually pretty neat, I thought.

If you think that makes me homosexual... well... I think it says more about you than it does about me. lol.

I put white first below reds, hoppes 9 will take the excess off but it will stain the color fill if it's supposed to be white. One issue I have ran across is when you wipe the excess off it smears into the side of the receiver.

Don't leave your gun on the safe table. I'm gonna be walking around with a bottle of hot pink testors.

Use a lacquer stick. Comes in many colors.

I like it on Glock mags. Easier to tell apart the 40's from the 9mm in the safe

Who shoots 40 anymore?ewww

I tried that color fill once on a Glock using the melted crayon thing and it looked crappy. I was never good at arts and crafts anyway. Now if I could get Robar to do it with his hot pink...

I avoided the crayon because I'd heard stories of it melting when the gun got hot. Also I figured grit and stuff could get embedded in it, being soft wax, and it would eventually get dingy or something. The model paint I used looks as good as the day I did it.
