I just did some of mine too Jimbo.

I used the China White Marker aka Grease pencil on mine and they came out great.

Before and After





I've found the grease pencil leaves marks that you have to take special care to get off after you fill the gaps.

I am going to try the nail polish next.

Thanks for posting, yours look great!

srt 10 jimbo: Sir, now that you've teased , how about a tutorial
'step 1-10.

[jashoffa]

I have done this with my Glock 23

[Palladin8]

I did that with my issue M9 and M-16/203 and when the commander saw it he liked it so much he wanted all the weapons in the arms room done. The arms room NCOIC hated me for a little while after that but oh well he got over it.

Do you guys really.want a tutorial on this? Video or pictures?

[DudeInMT]

I'd be interested in a tutorial. Video would be better I think, but pictures work too.

[srt 10 jimbo]

I'll make one with my son, he's got all the equipment.

[dothedrew57]

Jimbo I was gonna do my glock tonight. But if we both made one it couldn't hurt. Different ways and such

here you go folks

Nice work, guys.

Looks good. I didn't know that you could do that with fingernail polish. I use the sticks of stuff from Brownells for just that purpose. I think fingernail polish is a bit cheaper, but I have, red, silver, gold. Zombie green might be a color to use....There is glow in the dark fingernail polish as well.

Yeah I put rings of that stuff around flash lights and such so they are easier to find in black outs. The problem with the glow in the dark fingernail polish is when it's not glowing (in the dark) it looks like old dried up snot.

I'd say it's purpose is to make people ask questions. The cool factor is whatever you make of it. Kinda like saying, hey I paid for this, I'll do what I want to with it.

Purely Cosmetic, If you don't like it..Don't do it. To each his own

[Twitch2120]

factory paint is garbage anyways. cerakote is the way to roll

[Bestiverhad]

I used white fingernail polish when I re-did the dots on my CZ82 sights. Well, actually, I watched my wife do it. =^)

I'm happy with the result.

[dothedrew57]

I just did my new AR-15's lower receiver markings in white. Came out pretty nice for 5 minutes of work
