Grunt Medic TXARNG Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Crossposted from one I made on another site, but the results turned out well, so I'll share - I like the colored in markings on many firearms - and decided to try the technique. I took a toothpick and regular Testors model paint and filled in the lettering - Halfway done hereFully colored in - you want to make sure you use a light touch, and use enough paint to allow it to flow into the corners of the lettering. It's important to have enough paint to fill the letters - you will get some outside the lines, but that's OK. Now let it dry/cure overnight.The secret weapon - one of the 'magic eraser' type mildly abrasive sponges, designed to be worked wet.I used scissors to cut an approximately finger sized piece to work with, ran it under the faucet, and used a polishing type motion to begin removing the excess paint.Halfway done - the caliber lettering is looking good.And the finished product. Although I see one spot I need to touch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
