"...White Letter your Guns..." Daft, peace time, U.S. Army, thing. Just like painting rocks. Done with a white grease pencil. Whiteout doesn't last. Testor's model paint is another option.

 

[Satain]

Fixed it.

Sorry missed a digit.

I like the (of course, cheaper) WhiteOut method since it's easier to clean up. One also has to be ready for screw ups also. I suggest if you are a white letter lover to practice this once on a Cooey (just like my glass bedding approach) .22LR since it's easy to rectify.

My NRA High Power buddies advocate white nail polish. Keep that Acetone can handy in case you mess up!

Cheers,
Barney

Does anyone know where I can order a grease pencil from? I phoned every hardware, stationary, and craft store in town and none of them carry grease/wax pencils.

I think they are a lot more common than the people answering the phone tell you.

You just have to check at a stationary section in Staple, Walmart, Arts Stores, grease pencil, china marker...one in the same.

I just got back home. Walmart, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Rona, and our local craft store and the local stationary store don't carry them.

I forgot to try staples, maybe I'll try there next.

UPDATE:

WINZ and Staples Deliver!

Nope! Since we dont have a princess auto anywhere even close to me

Besides Staples had black and white ones.

Tested out on the Norinco:

Look Ma! I've polished a turd!

 

[Blindeyes]

Wax crayon works great too.

 

[Ftaview]

Looks good there drache.....


paint works just as good, and lasts longer than the crayons, and grease pencils, if the parts get warm enough, well I am sure you can figure out what happens,,,,

here is my attempt with paint

I did post more of this in another thread awhile back....

Yeah On mags it will be fine but you're right on slides. I just did it on the slide to test it out.
