I finally got the taper pins out of my front site, but only after scratching up the finish pretty good.  What's the easiest/cheapest way to touch it up?

What you want is some cold blue.

AlumaBlack is for blackening aluminum.

In order of easy:
1) F^ck that, just go shoot.
2) Sharpy black magic marker
3) Rustoleum high temp black spraypaint. (exact match to my RRA)
4) Cold Blue

You asked for the easiest!

Whats the best method for touching up scratches in the upper and lower receiver?  

Cold blue will only work on Steel correct?

Cold Blue works surprisingly well touching up parkerized finishs.  If you reinstall new pins and touch up with cold blue it will probably look like new.
