I’ve seen a few different video’s on custom color fills.  I was wondering what the best and/or most common method is, Acrylic Paint, Nail Polish, or Crayon.

I just did my pistol last night using spray paint
Spray it in a small pool in the can cap, its thin so it fills letters well. In my case I used metallic aluminum color.
I dabbed it all over the lettering using a brush. It dries fast so I used a rag with lacquer thinner to remove the surface paint as it got tacky.

If you are worried about the surface handling the thinner, try it on a spot under the grip. I used it on a PSA blem lower with 0 issues.

Quattro that
Used to not be a fan of color fill, still not that big on it, but I did the safe on both sides in silver and fire in lime green, that's it, to one of my all black rifles. Looks friggin incredible. As I see more builds on here and the better they get its starting to grow on me.

I used paint pens...just for safe/fire in red and white.  I'm not a fan of filling the roll marks.
