how do you guy's paint the selector markings on ar lower or stamping marks on a ak or other rifles.i want some stamping marks to stand out with paint.
ive tried with one or two ak's and a mosin to make factory stamping stand out. but sometime looks muddy or paint washes out when wiping off,and even some staining.i understand they may not stand up to chemicals in long term,but thats ok. i can always redo it.
any tricks that work good? what to use and how?
