Painting S&W logo.

[MasterTech1960]

I see a lot of the logos that are painted. I like the look. I tried to search the forum on how to do it and what supplies are needed. For some reason I can not search. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

White nail polish and NON-acetone nail polish remover. Paint over what you want to fill, let it dry for an hour or so, and begin lightly wiping across it with the NON-acetone nail polish remover. It will wipe away the excess and leave the logo filled.

I wanted to do it over top of my M&P logo because it wasn't very well painted by the factory, but it's much too shallow for this to work. But the logo on the other side is deeply cut and will work perfectly with this technique. I've done it to my Glock 19 and my Shield.

I've successfully done it with a white crayon. Color it to your liking and wipe off the excess. When you tire of it clean it with a dash of Hoppe's and a nylon brush.

I used to use tire markers.

These days I just use Tester's model paint.

The Testor product is much more solvent resistant than the crayon.

While not S&W MP15s, these are a few I've done

I have kind of the same question except I'd like to remove the paint from logo.

Here's a kit from the 70's that was available in gold or silver. Don't know if still around or if there was a white kit.

To remove paint from the logo (assuming you or someone else painted it) I use non acetone nail polish remover and a toothbrush. I wipe over the area with the polish remover, dip my toothbrush in the remover and gently scrub the area with the toothbrush. Hope this helps.

White Out correction fluid, AKA Liquid Paper is flat white lacquer and is found everywhere. Holds up well, I've used it on front sights and easy to remove with nail polish remover, lacquer thinner or acetone.

Anyone got any pics of 15's they've done?

You can always use a crayon too

Nail polish and cotton swabs dipped in non-acetone nailpoish remover...

Here's a Bushy I did with gold crayon. It held up well and looked pretty good.

I did it recently... Bought a Laquer paint stick, which is one of the common recommendations to use. Originally I bought to fill in the caliber and logo on my 9mm & 357/40 magazines, and the the S&W logo on the AR as well. Turned out pretty good, I think I need to clean it up a bit more, (or go ahead and fill in the text below the logo), but overall it looks good I think.

Also threw in the 45* throw lever from Battle Arms - actually I already had the levers so just ordered the center section...

Lacquer paint stick, like the different color paint pens on the counter at the hardware store?

No - while those work, seems like this was suggested more often...

Swapping to an ambi lower as an experiment, so while I had the S&W lower mostly stripped, figured I add some more eye candy... Still need to clean it up a bit, but otherwise looks good imo.



Better pic added... well cleaner, anyway .

Very nice. 78Staff, you're killing me, now I'm going to have to change out my upper for the YHM caliber etched, and of course, color in the rest of the lettering.
