How did you color in the stamped writing on your rifle?

I used a paint pens you can pick up at any craft store, use the ultra thin tips. Others have used crayon with some succes.

I use Testors enamel (modeling paint).

 

This method, done right, almost paints itself.

 

Thoroughly clean & degrease the area.

Use a good thinner, thin the paint till it has the viscosity of milk.

Then using a micro-tip or very fine tip brush, pick up a drop of paint.

Touch the tip into the rollmark (lettering), it should flow right into it and keep going.

Repeat, touch tip into rollmark where paint stopped flowing, filling the rollmark completely.

 

There should be very little to no mess.

 

Let dry for a hour or two, then using a cleaning patch, use a little thinner to clean up.

Same as Chile but used a toothpick. The paint kinda flowed right where it needed to go..

I tried china markers, crayon, paint pens, then found something that really worked for me. White-out! paint it on, let it dry, then wipe off excess with a bit of gun oil, it stays very well, and is easy and cheap to redo if necccessary, but I haven't had to yet...
