I posted pics the other day of my M&P w/ the FDE backstrap and mag release button. The idea was brought up to color fill my slide engravings in FDE to accent it. So the paint came in today (thanks Amazon Prime) and it honestly took about 5 minutes per side, start to finish! That's it.
I prepped with rubbing alcohol, then applied the paint with a q-tip. Let it air dry for a couple mins, then hit it with a blow dryer for a couple more. Then I used a paper towel with non-acetate nail polish remover to gently wipe the excess paint off. It was super simple, and I think even just 1 coat looks great.
The Detroit PD etching and gun # didn't really have enough depth to take the paint as the factory engravings did. Still I'm happy with the result.
I also filled the .40 S&W caliber marking on my barrel. Next is to get some white paint and fill the markings on my mags, to make the round count and caliber stand out.
Here are some pics.
