Added a little bit of colour to the old M&P

[DominionOutdoors]

Dressed up the old girl a bit with some gold colour fill, I think it turned out pretty nice

Nice work. Looks good.

Instructions please. I want to do mine too.

I did a bit of white fill on my AR - looks like crap. This... was a good job!

Thanks guys! The process is pretty simple, I bought testers enamel paint and poured a little into a mixing cup and took an eye dropper and dropped a drop or two of testers thinner into the paint to thin it out a bit. Then just use a toothpick to drop the paint into the logo and smear it around a little like in the picture below. Let it dry about 15 minutes, drop a drop or two of thinner onto a paper towl and rub over the logo until it's pretty good then I just used a Q-tip with thinner to touch it up. Takes about 30 minutes total and really makes a big difference in the look of your firearm!

Well done! Looks as good as the real thing and a heck of a lot cheaper! Ask me how I know...

 

[LuckyOnes]

Me likey!

Looks good with the gold, might have to change my Shadow "white to gold"
I just used a crayon.

I've heard the crayon works well too but I've never tried it though, I always thought it would melt out haha.

looks good, did the grouping improve since the embellishment?

Significantly, the gold adds speed and reduces drag resulting in faster target acquisition and more precise operations.

that's exactly what I thought as well.

 

[Waynetheman]

That looks really good to be honest. Big fan of black and gold.

Then you need to try it with crayon -- wax ought to slide through the air even faster.

Thanks 'D.O.' I'm on it.

I think I might like to try a medium grey... something low-key, but to make everything stand out a bit more...

I wonder about maybe a spray paint, sprayed into a small cup - should have the thinned consistency used above, for toothpick work. Just then a matter of a thinner to take off the excess (I might test a bit of varsol on a remote corner of an old blued gun, and see if that's safe).

Nail polish might work, or it might cure "too hard" for the nail polish remover to do a good job...
