Decided I need to practice my coloring!!!

Also visit a Glock site and noticed that people were coloring the logos and things on their pistols. Thought I would take a shot at it. Here are the results.

white crayon?

used red on an ar and it worked well.

I did my guns with white nail polish but am looking for some gold nail polish but there is little on the market, plus I feel kind of funny looking at all the nail polish displays!

But it is fast and easy (about 5 minutes per gun).
(1) Take a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol and degrease the area you want to paint.
(2) Take a nail polish of your choosing and apply liberally making certain you fill all the voids with the polish.
(3) Take non-acetone nail polish remover and remove the excess paint.
(4) Carefully inspect you gun and see if you need to repeat steps 2 and 3.

I also paint the magazines as well as the round count at the witness holes, it makes it easier for me to know which magazine I am about to use, and I have several; 4 for my M&P9FS, 5 for my M&P40C, 6 for my S&W Model59, 5 for my Glock26 Sub Compact 9mm and 3 for my Kel-TecPF9!

Yes, I am thinking of removing it and using a grey or red. White is awful bright.

Sorry guys I don't really care for it.But to each his own.If you like it thats all that matters.

I really like this look, did it with my poly framed Judge and it looks great. The white is sort of bright though, I might go for a green or maybe desert tan color.

Here is a pic of mine I did after I got it.

Now that is different and pretty cool! I guess that would be the Zombie Hunter version.

I like the look, but how durable is the crayon treatment? I mean, when you fire the pistol and the slide gets hot, does the wax melt out? Or, when you clean the slide, does the cleaner dissolve it? (The wax, I mean...not the slide. If your cleaner dissolves the slide, you might want to switch to something else...)

As far as the crayon goes for me, it mostly all stays there, I have touched it up a few times, but its just a quick rub of the crayon and then a wipe. I may go the nailpolish route someday but the crayon is cheap and easy and easily changed or removed.

I'm with cactus-jack on this one. This color-fill stuff is one of my least favorite mods. I've even passd over guns for sale because the rollmarks had been filled in. I know it's removeable, but to me, it's just not worth the time/effort.

But hey, it's your gun. Decorate it to your heart's content.

It definitely is a personal preference sort of thing. It's like those guys that camo paint their whole pistol or rifle, personally I think it's ugly. It can be done right IMO but most people just spray the whole thing with camo.

When it comes to 'coloring' the only limit is pretty much your imagination:
