I am going to paintfill the logos on one of my stripped lowers, looking for advice on whether to go with the lacquer sticks or something cheaper like testors model paint.
Thanks for any help... |

I use Sharpie paint markers.
I put a little oil around the lettering to help the paint from sticking to the receiver. I then paint in the lettering a word or so at a time and quickly wipe over it with a paper towel. It usually takes 3-4 times to get the lettering filled good. I then rub the receiver with my finger to buff off any extra paint. This has made perfect results every time for me,I have filled the lettering on the UBR since this photo was taken.It is a little bit more rubbing to clean off the plastic stocks then alum. but it works the same way.

I used Testors flat red and flat white. If I could do it over again, I would have used a brighter red. Sorry for the crappy sell phone pics, I only color filled " safe " and " fire "

Pics were taken before the final cleanup, you can see some color left over from the wipe down. I wanted to wait until the paint has fully dried before wiping it down with some acetone then some clp. |

Hands down the easist is crayon. Just rub across the engraved line and it fills up. When done rub with a paper towel and then rub with your finger to remove any waxy film left behind. DONE! No chemicals, no mess, no fuss. That seriously works?!? Thats freakin awesome. |
