Crayola Shield !!!

[Fat B]

Even though i wouldn't do it to my gun I think it looks good.

Some of you guys sound like a-holes with your responses. Have some common courtesy or some manners. Let the guy make his gun a little fancy if he wants. All changes to a gun have to be practical? No one ever paid extra for a chrome grill or something else to make their car or truck look better?

I'm happily married with 3 kids. I'm sure some of you are close to the same situation. Do you really care what people at walmart think???

Wow, u just wake up bro? I think opinions are ok, bad or good. Im sure he didn't expect everyone to be in lustfully in love with the idea of coloring the letters on a gun. I honestly think it looks like poopoo, but I didn't really say that, but its his gun and everyone's forum.....

I wonder how yellow would look, I'm a Steelers fan and the yellow & Black would be pretty cool. Anyone done that?

I'm a Vikings fan and Purple just won't show up, so I'm going with gold(Testers hobby paint). Haven't done it yet(not a priority), but have the paint.

Hmm... You're probably right. Maybe I was a little harsh so I apologize. That is what I get for posting when I'm tired. It just bothers me when people don't feel the need to be polite, step past constructful criticism, and call the guy a preschooler for using crayon to personalize his gun. I need to take McBears advice. Keep calm and carry on.

Everybody's got their own thing. Personally I think that camo rifles look stupid even though a lot of people do it but hey, that's me.

Personally I like strong contrasts so the white lettering on a black gun appeals to me. It's just a small change and a lot of people don't even notice it at first and hey, if I wanted an ugly plain block of steel and plastic I would have just gotten a Glock anyhow.

I kinda liked this in the late 1990s when I saw it for the first time. I tried it a few times myself.

Now, I just think it looks terrible, personally.

opinions are like armpits, if you don't wash them and put deodorant on them, they all stink. Just saying.

 

[blkpitbull]

yep I agree,

Fat B, although I dont like the coloring of the letters, I was just giving Mr. crunch and the others who do like it a hard time, I hope, even though im not a fan of it, they know what i say really doesnt matter..

I prefer the Crayola method better, The nail polish I used caused some issues with the nail polish remover with the slide.

 

[Fat Old Guy]

I've used the crayon method for decades and I have have never had a problem with it wearing away quickly. It takes years and years and years.

Sent using a keyboard from my desktop computer.

What about using a grease pencil?

Should be the same as crayons. They're both basically colored wax.

 

[RobzGuns]

Seeing the word gun and crayon in the same sentence seems strange but I have to admit it looks good. I wonder what it would look like in red?

Hey... 1st post.
I know a bunch of people who fill their gun etching.
Many start with a crayon, if for nothing else, to find what color they want (Crayon's easier to remove and change)... Then when they decide on a color, redo it in polish, or Acrylic Model paint from the hobby shop.

not a Shield, but I did my 40c with pearl white....from Wal Mart,the onlyone that looked at me goofy was the checker

While I understand that some of us like our guns just the way they are with maybe a little Rem Oil wipe on them some of us like to customize them, and all my guns have embellishments to them.

I can pick them out easily and so can the police if they are stolen and I might get them back just because of the description of them!

It is a personal choice and the people that know me all know that I paint all my weapons as well as my magazines which I have several of, and in case I leave one hanging around at the range they know who it belongs to!
