That's funny. How long did you keep the blow dryer on it?

I like that idea, I tried to use the little Testors hobby paint, but it seems that the finish on my M&P SPORT RIFLE, has a rather matte finish, and it holds the overage of paint. I did the S&W logo with white, it looks like it is stuck in a cloud. I used many different solvents to remove the surface paint, but still stuck in the clouds.

I had this problem the first time as well. What I ended up doing was filling the entire area with plenty of paint, than let it dry for about 3 minutes. Overage and all. Than take a q-tip with brake cleaner on it and lightly go over it. Just keep letting it dry a tiny bit and take a little more off. What's happening is the top layer is hardening than your taking that top layer off instead of spreading around wet paint. Worked great for me anyways. There's many methods so you just gotta find one that works for you. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359727636.643704.jpg
This was my cloudy attempt. The brake clean and a bit of elbow grease got it back to black. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359727704.328506.jpg
This was my second attempt, I caught on quick.

Not long you will get the hang of it. Just heat while you go back and forth with crayon. it will fill the area very nicely. I suggest cleaning the area with achohol before applying the crayon. Be very patient and do it several times on one are. Trust me it is easy and you will be proud of your ability to go back to being a 5 year old.
