All my M&P are stippled so i had to do my new Shield. Also gave it the red crayon treatment and notched the bottom of the trigger guard for my weak index finger.

shes a sweet shooter!

This might be a seemingly dumb question, but I've seen guys with Glocks that use finger nail polish to "bling" their guns.. is the Crayola method the same concept?

yeah. you just use a heat gun to melt crayon into the logo on the slide. then use a reg with WD40 on it to remove the excess. and a long range session or two the crayon starts to melt so you need to do it again.
 
I do not use Crayons myself since I no longer have children but my children do have children who I am sure use a computer to color things but I could be wrong!

My wife is also dead but there was still some nail polish hanging around so I use it. The first thing I do to any of my M&Ps is color them with a particular white that seems to stand out very well.

The entire process takes less than 10 minutes per gun and last until you decide to change colors or remove the paint with nail polish remover! For those interested in doing the same with their weapons the process is below!

  • Using a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol degrease the area to be painted
  • Take a nail polish of your choice and liberally fill in the voids in the slide that are stamped where you want paint
  • Using non acetone nail polish remover on a paper towel or rag gently rub off the excess nail polish
  • Check for good definition and if necessary repaint and then remove excess paint til satisfied

There you have it how to custom paint your M&P or any gun for that matter, I also paint the witness holes and caliber of all my magazines it makes it much easier to read them in low light conditions!
 
You can also use Testor's paint pens for the same effect. It lasts a lot longer than crayons and isn't permanent.

If you use nail polish remover, use a non-acetone remover. It won't harm the finish.

I just use isopropyl alcohol. It takes more elbow grease, but there's no risk of it hurting the finish or polymer.
 
Love everything but the coloring, just not my thing, but I love the stippling bro...

Nail polish is more available unless you are not married and even if not it is cheaper about 97 cents plus nail polish remover is also cheap at about the same price as well as isopropyl alcohol an Q-Tips are not that expensive either!

I believe that I addresses that in one of the steps and did in fact state non acetone nail polish remover for the very reason you stated which is to not harm the finish!
 
i used nail polish on my M&P. several hundred rounds have been through the gun since the paint job and it has held up VERY well. And yes use non acetone nail polish.

 
I color the logos on the bottom of all my S&W mags -- to distinguish the M&P9 from the M&P40 mags in the mag bin. White for 9mm, Blue for .40. Doesn't look bad and helps make sure I take the right ones with me to the range. Nothing wrong with a little personalization, either wax or nail polish.
 
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to stipple their Shield! And colored too. Now I wonder how long it will take for someone to mill it for an RMR. :D

I don't think it'd be possible but if it is I may try

I saw one yesterday for the first time in real life ....

That baby is small ....

I am VERY VERY curious what would be required for an RMR install ...

On a Shield?

I'm not even sure the slide is wide enough to accept the mounting screws for a RMR.

Did you color the "CAUTION-CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED" on the right side?
