Thanks! That is actually the results using fusion. Even after prepping the surfaces the paint still sat on top of the composite rather than really adhering like it should have. That means chipping is in my near future along with a complete re-do. If you saw the recessed lettering up close you'd see why.

Haha thanks. Can you see the barrel is white under the hand guard too??? That's ceramic paint

Thanks. I'm a compulsive tinkerer so I'd say yes.

I take it the photo shows you scraping the paint out of the lettering.

Well then!

I'm assuming you used some sort of brush for the lettering. How did you paint the letters?

From the teaser pics, it looks like it was sprayed and the lettering was scraped out to reveal the original black finish.

Oh, I suppose, that would work.

 

[InfiniteMotors]

Correct!

It worked very well until the paint reached the chipping stage of curing.

I would imagine so. I got the MOE version and I went with the TactiCrayola and stayed with the tan color scheme. If I wanted to paint the letters without having to paint the whole lower receiver, how would I go about getting that detailed?

Not sure what you mean by paint the letters- you already crayola'd them right? Are you looking to do an outline box?

 

[mud king]

Well I really like what I did. Now I want something a little more permanent. Instead of Crayolaing them, I wanted to paint the letters. How would I go about that?

Testors model paint.

Instructions

-make a mess (the less the better)
-clean the mess everywhere but in the lettering

I did this on my AK since it gets a nice bath every time I shoot it. The crayon didn't hold up. It still looks nice and bright after two years of soapy baths.

Agreed. Although it would be easy enough to avoid the mess by using a small application tool and just filling up each letter since the paint is thin enough to do so. Any hobby shop will have the paint as well as small syringes for CA glue. Nice clean job!
