Hey guys. This is my SBR/turn in 6933 and I am trying to cover up the markings put on by the SWAT/LE agency. The engraving is very light as though lasered on. I mostly want it filled in and just painted over. Not really interested in re-anodizing or anything major.
What would be a good process to fill this in?

Filling in marks with paint can be hard to do. I would suggest sand the area with the agency marks smooth then coat it.

Mix up a little devcon or steel bed and fill it in. Sand smooth and spray the area with Wheelers ceramacoat. I did that to the stag head on a Stag lower for a friend. Worked great.

You'll need to refinish the whole lower to do it right. I'd just leave it.

Use a toothbrush and solvent and you'll probably get all of the white removed. I doubt the engraving will bother you anywhere near as much when that's gone.

That white showing through looks like aluminum. Mechanical engraving on anodizing can chip like that. I'd fill the marking with flat black paint, and rock on...or leave it.

I've filled goofy roll marks/logos with JB Weld. Sand smooth once cured.
That particular gun was going to be spray painted anyway, so I didn't really care. But I suppose you could gently "flare" an air cure spray mixture of your choice to get it back to black. Surprisingly, the JB Weld was super tough, and yet MEK based stripper (used to eventually remove the spray paint) softened the JB Weld right up to where I could just pluck it "out" of the engraved portion. |

If ever a first post nailed it, this one did.
That would be like filling in NYPD on revolver. |

I'd likely hit it with Aluma-black to knock down the silver tone without it looking like a layer of paint.
