Glock 19 Slide and Magazine color fill

[LKLive13]

This is my first shot at adding some color to my Glock 19. What do you all think? Any tips for making it look a little better?

Not bad but I would like Gold better.

Gold or silver. Green is kind of....what?

 

[LKLive13]

Looks like you did a very neat and even application. What kind of paint did you use and what was your technique?

You can get something called a lacquer stick from Brownells. They come in several colors and can be used to fill in the stamped/engraved parts of a gun. You rub it on like a crayon and wipe away any excess that didn't get into the stamped part. It is supposed to harden permanently over time, but I have found that it comes out when exposed to cleaning products. I know that white works pretty good on some guns I've tried.

I used engine enamel... The type used to paint an engine block. I sprayed some into a jar, then dipped a toothpick to apply it to the letters. After that, I scraped the excess off with a knife then lightly rubbed the rest off with nail polish remover. This particular paint is supposed to be chemical resistant.

Yep, that's paintfill. Good work!

Does it glow? Because that would be awesome.

I wish... I did just order some glow in the dark zombie green paint... I may try my XD in that just to see what it looks like.

Nail polish also works well.

You can change the floorplates, too. They make them in a few different colors. I'm currently using blue for 40SW, orange for 45ACP, default black for 9mm.
