So I have done some research and I have found everything from crayon to finger nail polish. What is the best way to do it. Any insight let me know. I am not sure crayon is the best way. But I don't want 100% permeant till I see it first.

I use enamel and then use mineral spirits with a flat edge and some q-tips to clean off the excess or raised portion.

I used nail polish.  Let dry and then use brake cleaner to get rid of excess.  It took me a few attempts, but if you don't like it, it's not permanent. A good coat of oil after and all looks like it was done at the factory.  I have also used this for several handguns and personally like the way it looks.

This or some Hoppes works well for cleaning up the excess as well.  There is a good video of it on youtube where the guy uses a toothpick to spread the enamel.

I used the crayon method and it works well.


Here is how it came out. the white haze over the lower went away with a little oil rubbed back in the coating.

I used testers model paint, it dries pretty fast.
I wasn't sure what to use to clean off the excess
So I grabbed L. Thinner. It didnt do any harm to my anadized
Lower, but I can't tell you what it will do to a lower with a diferent
Type of finish.

i used water based model paint, then I could just wipe it off with water and not have to use any chemicals.  Worked well and looks great.

Use a crayon. You'll want something easily removable because you'll be tired of it and want it gone in a couple weeks.

Elmers Paint Pens.
You can get them at walmart in the craft section.  They have variety packs or you can get individual pens.
You will need nail polish remover too - to remove any overflow from the pens.
